Bissau. Prima facie, therefore, the Court has personal jurisdiction over these States. 20. The Court also notes that the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Republic of Togo and Republic of Senegal are parties to the Protocol but have not deposited the Declaration. The Court, therefore, manifestly lacks personal jurisdiction over these States. 21. As for the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire and Republic of Benin, the Court recalls that these States formally withdrew their Declaration. The withdrawals became effective on 30 April 2021 and 26 March 2021, respectively. The Court, therefore, lacks jurisdiction over these States. 22. With regard to the Republic of Cabo Verde, Republic of Sierra Leone, Republic of Liberia and Republic of Guinea, the Court notes that these States are not parties to the Protocol and have thus not deposited the Declaration. Resultantly, the Court has no jurisdiction over them. *** 23. Given the totality of the above circumstances, and for purposes of judicial efficiency and the proper administration of justice, the Court, suo motu, invokes Rule 90 of its Rules and decides to strike out the NGO Campaign for Social Justice and Constitutional Democracy in Africa as an Applicant in this matter. 24. In the same vein, the Court also decides to strike out the following States, as Respondents, in this matter: Republic of Benin, Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, Republic of Cabo Verde, Republic of Guinea, Republic of Liberia, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Republic of Togo, Republic of Senegal and Republic of Sierra Leone. 10
