9. 委员会还注意到，《公约》缔约国通过加入《任择议定书》，承认委员会有权接受并审查该国管辖下的个人声称为该缔约国侵害《公约》所载任何权利的受害者的来文(《任择议定书》序言和第一条)。一个国家加入《任择议定书》意味着承诺善意地与委员会合作，缔约国采取任何行动阻止或阻挠委员会审议和审查来文以及发表意见，都不符合《任择议定书》第一条规定的义务。
9. The Committee further observes that, by adhering to the Optional Protocol, a State party to the Covenant recognizes the competence of the Committee to receive and consider communications from individuals subject to its jurisdiction who claim to be victims of a violation of any of the rights set forth in the Covenant (preamble and art. 1 of the Optional Protocol). Implicit in the adherence of a State to the Optional Protocol is an undertaking to cooperate with the Committee in good faith, and it is incompatible with its obligations under article 1 of the Optional Protocol for a State party to take any action that would prevent or frustrate the Committee in its consideration and examination of communications and in the expression of its Views.
