The Court notes that the conditions of admissibility set out in Rule 50(2) of the Rules are not in contention between the parties. However, pursuant to Rule 50(1) of the Rules, the Court is obligated to determine the admissibility of the Application. 26. From the record, the Court notes that, the Applicant has been identified by name in fulfilment of Rule 50(2)(a) of the Rules. 27. The Court notes that the claims made by the Applicant seek to protect his rights guaranteed by the Charter. It also notes that one of the objectives of the Constitutive Act of the African Union as stipulated under Article 3(h), is to promote and protect human and peoples’ rights. The Court, therefore, holds that the Application is compatible with the Constitutive Act of the African Union and the Charter and thus meets the requirements of Rule 50(2)(b) of the Rules. 7
