refer to them. He emphasises that the role of the courts is to ensure that justice is done by applying all pertinent rules and regulations and not to do justice merely on the basis of those rules cited by the parties. *** 41. The Court notes that pursuant to Rule 50(2)(e) of the Rules, any application filed before it must fulfil the requirement of exhaustion of local remedies unless local remedies are unavailable, ineffective, or the domestic procedure to pursue them is unduly prolonged.11 This requirement seeks to ensure that, as the primary duty bearers, States have the opportunity to address human rights violations occurring within their jurisdiction before an international body is called upon to intervene. It reinforces the subsidiary role of international human rights bodies in the protection of human and peoples’ rights. In its established jurisprudence, the Court has also consistently affirmed that in order for this requirement of admissibility to be met, the remedies that should be exhausted must be ordinary judicial remedies.12 42. In the instant case, the Court notes from the record the Applicant makes four allegations of violations of human rights; namely, right to equal treatment and equal protection of the law, the right to bail, the right to be heard, and right to legal representation, contrary to Articles 2, 3, 6 and 7 of the Charter, respectively. 43. The Court further notes that the Applicant’s allegation of denial of his right to bail is indeed being raised for the first time. It is evident that this particular claim was neither presented during the trial proceedings nor was it included as one of the grounds of appeal before the High Court and the Court of Appeal. 11 Thomas v.
