C. Alleged violation of the right to non-discrimination 97. The Court notes that on these issues the parties advance the same arguments as those for the alleged violation of the rights to full equality before the law and to full protection of the law. *** 98. The Court notes that Article 2 of the Charter provides that: Every individual shall be entitled to the enjoyment of the rights and freedoms recognised and guaranteed in the present Charter without distinction of any kind such as race, ethnic group, colour, sex, language, religion, political or any other opinion, national and social origin, fortune, birth or any status. 99. The Court recalls its jurisprudence that: There is an interconnection between the rights to equality before the law and equal protection of the law, on the one hand, and the right to non-discrimination, on the other, insofar as the entire legal structure of both national and international public policy is based on this principle, which transcends any standard.17 100. The Court emphasises that it is for the Applicant claiming to have been the victim of discriminatory treatment to prove it and that general assertions that a right has been violated do not hold.18 17 18 Tiekoro Sangaré et Others v.
