of each case and must be determined on a case-by-case basis.16 In the instant case, the Court considers that the assessment of a reasonable time for its seizure starts from the date the Constitutional Court issued its decision, that is, 18 June 2020. Between this date and the date of referral to the Court on 4 August 2020, two (2) months and fifteen (15) days elapsed. This time-limit indicates that the Applicant acted with diligence. The Court therefore notes that the period of two (2) months and fifteen (15) days is reasonable. The Court therefore considers that the requirement of Rule 50(2)(f) is met. 52. Finally, with respect to the requirement under Rule 50(2)(g) of the Rules, the Court finds that the present case does not concern a matter which has already been settled by the Parties in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Charter, the Constitutive Act of the African Union or the provisions of the Charter. 53. In view of the foregoing, the Court finds that the Application meets all the admissibility requirements under Article 56 of the Charter, as restated in Rule 50(2) of the Rules. Accordingly, the Court declares the Application admissible. VII. MERITS 54. The Applicant alleges the violation of the right to the presumption of innocence and of the right to nationality. 16 Beneficiaries of the late Norbert Zongo and Others v.
