the proceedings before the Respondent State's judicial authorities are not
feasible, without adducing evidence in support of this allegation. The court,
therefore, dismisses the allegations.
37. With regard to the second allegation, the Court notes that the Applicant did not
file his case before the national courts, as he claims to have sought to setle the
dispute before the administrative and political authorities. However, there was
nothing preventing him from exercising both judicial and non-judicial remedies at
the same time, and should therefore have exercised the requisite judicial
remedies so as to exhaust the local remedies.
38. ln
light of the foregoing, the Court holds in conclusion that the Applicant has not
exhausted the local remedies available to him in the Respondent State, and his
failure to exhaust local remedies does not fallwithin the exceptions set out in Rule
a0(5) of the Rules.
