46. In light of the foregoing, the Court finds that the application does not meet
the admissibility requirements set out in Article 56(5) of the Charter. It
therefore upholds the Respondent State’s objection.
B. Other conditions of admissibility
47. The Court recalls that the admissibility requirements of an application are
cumulative so that if one of them is not fulfilled, the entire application is
inadmissible.9
48. In the instant case, as the application does not meet the requirement of
exhaustion of local remedies under Article 56(5) of the Charter, there is no
need to consider the other admissibility requirements.
49. Accordingly, the Court declares the application inadmissible.
VII.
REQUEST FOR PROVISIONAL MEASURES
50. The Court notes that on 26 August 2019, the Applicant filed a request for
“provisional measures to put an end to continuous irreparable harm ensuing
from the acts of torture and rape in breach of Article 27 of the Protocol”.
51. Having already declared the application inadmissible for non-exhaustion of
local remedies, the Court considers that the request for provisional
measures is moot.
