d. Are not based exclusively on news disseminated through the mass media; e. Are sent after exhausting local remedies, if any, unless it is obvious that this procedure is unduly prolonged; f.

The Court notes that the Respondent State has raised an objection to admissibility based on non-exhaustion of local remedies. The Court will first consider this objection (A) before examining other admissibility requirements (B), if necessary. A. Objection based on non-exhaustion of local remedies 28. The Respondent State raises an objection to the admissibility of the Application for non-exhaustion of local remedies, on four grounds. 29. First, the Respondent State submits that the cassation appeal brought by the Applicant is still pending. It points out that in its judicial system, this remedy is effective and that the Applicant, who does not prove that it is unduly prolonged, should have awaited its outcome before submitting the present Application. 30. Next, the Respondent State asserts that since the passing of Constitutional Law No. 072-2015/CNT of 5 November 2015 amending the Constitution, any citizen may refer a matter to the Constitutional Court, either directly or by way of a constitutional procedure, in a matter that concerns him. It concludes that the Applicant could have brought the same violations before the Constitutional Court as those alleged in the present Application. 7
