64. From the records on file, the Court notes that the Applicant has clearly been identified by name, in fulfilment of Rule 50(2)(a) of the Rules. 65. The Court notes that the claims made by the Applicant seeks to protect his rights guaranteed under the Charter. It further notes that one of the objectives of the Constitutive Act of the African Union as stated in Article 3(h) thereof is the promotion and protection of human and peoples’ rights. Furthermore, nothing on file indicates that the Application is incompatible with the Constitutive Act of the African Union. It follows that the Application fulfils the requirement set out in Rule 50(2)(b) of the Rules. 66. The Court, on the other hand, notes that the Application does not contain disparaging or insulting language towards the Respondent State, its institutions or the African Union, making it in conformity with the requirements of rule 50(2)(c) of the Rules. 67. The Court also notes that the Application is not based exclusively on news broadcast through mass media, but on judicial documents issued by the judicial authorities of the Respondent State. Accordingly, the Application is in conformity with rule 50(2)(d) of the Rules. 68. The Court further notes that the Application does not raise any matter that has already been settled in compliance with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations or the Constitutive Charter of the African Union, within the meaning of rule 50(2)(g) of the Rules. 69. Accordingly, the Court finds that the Application fulfils all the admissibility requirements of Article 56 of the Charter, as restated in Rule 50(2) of the Rules, and therefore declares the Application, admissible. 17
