United Nations, or the Charter of the 25 Organization of African Unity or the provisions
of the present Charter." The rule is based on the non bis in idem and res judicata

Benjamin John Freeth (represented by Norman Tjombe) v Angola and Thirteen

matter was settled by another international adjudicatory body. It thus complies with
sub-Article 7 of the Charter.
