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.
