C. Other conditions of admissibility 50. The Court notes that the Parties do not contest the Application’s compliance with the requirements of paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (6) and (7) of Article 56 of the Charter, restated in sub-paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (f) and (g) of Rule 50(2). Nonetheless, the Court must satisfy itself that these requirements are met. 51. It emerges from the record that the condition set out in Rule 50(2) (a) relating to disclosure of identity is met, the Applicants having clearly indicated their identity. 52. The Court also notes that the Applicants’ prayers seek to protect their rights guaranteed by the Charter. It notes, in this respect, that one of the objectives of the Constitutive Act of the African Union, as stated in Article 3(h) thereof, is the promotion and protection of human and peoples’ rights. Furthermore, the Application does not contain any grievance or claim incompatible with any provision of the said Act. The Court therefore holds that the Application satisfies the requirements of Rule 50(2)(b) of the Rules. 53. The Court finds that the condition set out in Rule 50(2)(c) is also met, insofar as the Application is in no way inconsistent with the Constitutive Act of the African Union or with the Charter. 54. With respect to the condition set out in Rule 50(2)(d), the Court notes that it has not been established that the arguments of fact and of law developed in the Application are based exclusively on information disseminated through mass media. This requirement is therefore satisfied. 55. As regards Rule 50(2)(f) of the Rules on the filing of the Application within a reasonable time after exhaustion of local remedies, the Court observes that the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal lodged by the Applicant by decision of 15 November 2016.
