Danish cartoons complaint inadmissible

The United Nations Human Rights Committee declared inadmissible a complaint from two Danish nationals who alleged that the cartoons published in Jyllands-Posten (you know, the Danish cartoons - these) had resulted in discrimination and attacks on their reputation, and that they had been denied an effective domestic remedy for incitement of hatred against them. The admissibility decision does not go into the merits of the complaint but finds that domestic remedies have not been exhausted.
