complainant’s ban from Swiss territory dated 4 December 2014 was submitted after the
deadline.46 The Committee also notes the complainant’s affirmation that he has exhausted
all available domestic remedies, as he submitted an appeal to the Federal Administrative
Tribunal against the ban from Swiss territory within the deadline. 47 The Committee notes
that the information provided by the complainant does not enable it to conclude that the
appeal was submitted on time. It therefore considers this part of the complaint inadmissible
under article 22 (5) (b) of the Convention for non-exhaustion of domestic remedies.

The Committee against Torture therefore decides:
(a)
That the communication is inadmissible under article 22 (2) and (5) (b) of the
Convention;
(b)
That the present decision shall be communicated to the complainant and to
the State party.
