Charter and Rule 50(2)(f) of the Rules. The Court, therefore, upholds the
Respondent State��s objection in this regard.
B. Other conditions of admissibility
61. Having found that the Application has not satisfied the requirement in Rule
50(2)(f) of the Rules, the Court need not rule on the Application’s
compliance with the admissibility requirements set out in Article 56(1), (2),
(3), (4), and (7) of the Charter as restated in Rule 50(2)(a), (b), (c), (d) and
(g) of the Rules, as these conditions are cumulative.27
62. In view of the foregoing, the Court declares the Application inadmissible.
VII. COSTS
63. The Applicant and the Respondent State did not make any submissions on
costs.
***
64. The Court notes that Rule 32(2)28 of the Rules of Court provides that:
“unless otherwise decided by the Court, each party shall bear its own costs,
if any”.
65. The Court notes that in the instant case, there is no reason to depart from
this principle. Accordingly, the Court decides that each Party shall bear its
own costs.
