B. Other admissibility requirements 44. The Court notes that it is not in contention that the Application complies with the requirements under Article 56 (1), (2), (3), (4), (6) and (7) of the Charter as restated in Rule 50(2) (a), (b), (c), (d), (f) and (g) of the Rules. Nevertheless, the Court must ensure that these requirements are met. 45. In this regard, the Court notes that the requirement under Rule 50(2)(a) is met as the Applicant has clearly indicated her identity. 46. The Court notes that the Applicant’s requests seek to protect her rights guaranteed by the Charter and other instruments ratified by the Respondent State. It further notes that one of the objectives of the Constitutive Act of the African Union (hereinafter referred to as “the Constitutive Act”) as stated in Article 3(h) thereof is the promotion and protection of human and peoples’ rights. The Court, therefore, considers that the Application is compatible with the Constitutive Act and the Charter and that it meets the requirement of Rule 50(2)(b). 47. The Court further notes that the Application does not contain disparaging or insulting language against the Respondent State, its institutions or the African Union, which makes it compatible with the requirement in Rule 50(2)(c) of the Rules. 48. Regarding the requirement contained in Rule 50(2)(d) of the Rules, the Court notes that the Application is not based exclusively on news disseminated through the mass media but is based on the Applicant’s findings and analysis of political and social life in her country since 2011. 49. With regard to the requirement that the application be filed within a reasonable time, Rule 50(2)(f) of the Rules provides that applications must be filed “… within reasonable time from the date local remedies were exhausted or from the date set by the Court as being the commencement of the time limit within which it shall be seized with the matter”. 13
