C. Other admissibility requirements 63. The Court notes that the requirements in sub-rules 50(2)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (g) of the Rules, are not in contention between the Parties. Nevertheless, it must still ascertain that these requirements have been fulfilled. 64. From the records, the Court notes that the Applicant is clearly identified by name in fulfilment of Rule 50(2)(a) of the Rules. 65. The Court also notes that the Applicant’s claims seek to protect his rights guaranteed under the Charter. Further, Article 3(h) of the Constitutive Act of the African Union (AU), lists the promotion and protection of human and peoples’ rights among the objectives of the AU. Therefore, the Court holds that the Application is compatible with the Constitutive Act of the AU and the Charter, and thus, fulfils the requirement of Rule 50(2)(b) of the Rules. 66. The Court further notes that the language used in the Application is neither disparaging nor insulting with regard to the Respondent State, its institutions or the African Union, in compliance with the Rule 50(2)(c) of the Rules. 67. Besides, the Application is also not based exclusively on news disseminated through mass media, rather, it is based on judicial decisions from the domestic courts of the Respondent State. Thus, the Court holds that the Application complies with Rule 50(2)(d) of the Rules. 68. Concerning the admissibility requirement specified in Article 56(7) of the Charter, the Court notes that the Application does not concern a case which has already been settled by the Parties in accordance with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, the Constitutive Act of the African Union, the provisions of the Charter or of any legal instrument of the African Union. The Court, thus, finds that the Application complies with Rule 50(2)(g) of the Rules. 17
