56. In light of the foregoing, the Court finds that the Applicant has not justified why it took him seven (7) years, six (6) months and twenty-two (22) days to file the application. Therefore, the Court finds that the application was not filed within a reasonable time within the meaning of Article 56(6) of the Charter and Rule 50(2)(f) of the Rules. C. Other conditions of admissibility 57. The Court having found that the application does not satisfy Rule 50(2)(f) of the Rules, does not need to rule on the admissibility requirements set out in Article 56(1), (2), (3), (4) and (7) of the Charter reflected in Rule 50(2)(a), (b), (c), (d) and (g) of the Rules,15 as the admissibility requirements are cumulative.16 58. In view of the foregoing, the Court declares the Application inadmissible and dismisses it. VII. COSTS 59. The Respondent State prays the Court to order the Applicant to bear the costs of the application. The Applicant did not make any submissions on costs. *** 60. The Court notes that Rule 32(2) of its Rules provides that “unless otherwise decided by the Court, each party shall bear its own costs, if any.” 61. The Court finds no reason to depart from this provision. Consequently, it orders that each party shall bear its own costs. 15 Ibid. Mariam Kouma and Ousmane Diabaté v.
