author has failed to substantiate, for admissibility purposes, that the lack of reference
to the Convention in her asylum decision, or the refusal to call a witness, stemmed
from or resulted in any gender-based discrimination. Nor is there any element on file
to allow the Committee to conclude that the State party authorities failed to give
sufficient consideration to the author’s application for asylum, or that, in the
examination of her case, that of a female asylum seeker, there was a ny procedural
defect or arbitrariness. The Committee also considers that the author has failed to
substantiate sufficiently that the initial mistake in the name of the addressee in the
decisions of the Danish Immigration Service and Refugee Appeals Board, which was
subsequently corrected in the Board’s final decision of 5 December 2014, resulted in
any breach of the Convention in her respect.

The Committee therefore decides that:
(a) The communication is inadmissible under article 4 (2) (c) of the Optio nal
Protocol;
(b)
This decision shall be communicated to the State party and to the author.
