JURISDICTION
G
In dealing with an Application, the Court has to ascertain that it
has jurisdiction on the merits of the case.
8.
However,
in ordering provisional measures,
the Court need
not
satisfy itself that it has jurisdiction on the merits of the case, but
simply needs to satisfy itself, prima facie, that it has jurisdiction.”

Article 3(1) of the Protocol provides that “the jurisdiction of the Court
shall
extend
to all cases
and
disputes
submitted
to it concerning
the
interpretation and application of the Charter, this Protocol and any other
relevant Human
Rights instrument ratified by the States concerned”.
