B. Other admissibility requirements
46. The Court notes from the records that the Parties do not dispute that the
Application complies with the requirements of Article 56 (1), (2), (3), (4) and
(7) of the Charter, which are restated in Rule 50(2)(a), (b), (c), (d), and (g)
of the Rules. Nevertheless, the Court must ensure that these requirements
are met.
47. The Court notes that it emerges from the records that the requirement under
Rule 50(2)(a) of the Rules is met insofar as the Applicant has clearly
indicated his identity.
48. The Court notes that the Applicant’s requests seek to protect his rights
guaranteed under the Charter. It further notes that one of the objectives of
the Constitutive Act as stated in Article 3(h) thereof is the promotion and
protection of human and peoples’ rights. Furthermore, the Application does
not contain any request that is incompatible with the Constitutive Act. The
Court therefore considers that the Application is compatible with the
Constitutive Act of the African Union and the Charter, and that it meets the
requirement of Rule 50(2)(b) of the Rules.
49. The Court further notes that the Application does not contain disparaging or
insulting language against the Respondent State, which makes it
compatible with the requirement contained in Rule 50(2)(c) of the Rules.
50. 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 rather relates to an Order of the
Respondent State dated 22 July 2019.
51. With regard to the requirement of a reasonable time for filing an application
under Rule 50(2)(f), the Court recalls that the reasonableness of the timelimit for bringing a case before it depends on the particular circumstances
