Having regard to Article 25 of the Convention for the

Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms;

Having regard to the application introduced on 17 October 1989

by Guisto DEBONO against Malta and registered on 22 December 1989

under file No. 15938/89;

Having regard to the report provided for in Rule 40 of the

Rules of Procedure of the Commission;

Having deliberated;

Decides as follows:

The applicant is a Maltese citizen born in 1954 and resident

in Qormi. He is represented by Francis Debono, his father.

The applicant complains of criminal proceedings which appear

to have taken place in 1983-1985 and civil proceedings which are still

pending concerning the demolition of certain buildings. He complains

inter alia that he did not receive a fair hearing, that incorrect

evidence was submitted by witnesses and that there were unnecessary

delays in the proceedings. He also complains of discrimination. He

invokes Article 6 and Article 14 of the Convention.

The Commission has examined the applicant's separate

complaints as they have been submitted by him. The Commission notes

however that the applicant has failed to substantiate his claims or to

provide the relevant supporting documents. In these circumstances the

Commission finds that the application as submitted fails to disclose

any appearance of a violation of the rights and freedoms set out in

the Convention.

It follows that the application is as a whole manifestly

ill-founded within the meaning of Article 27 para. 2 of the

Convention.

For these reasons, the Commission

DECLARES THE APPLICATION INADMISSIBLE.

Secretary to the Commission President of the Commission
