48. In the light of the foregoing, the Court upholds the Respondent State's objection
to admissibility and finds that the Applicant did not exhaust local remedies.
B. Other admissibility requirements
49. Having found that the present Application does not satisfy the requirement of
Article 56(5) of the Charter and Rule 50(2)(e) of the Rules, and having regard
to the cumulative nature of the admissibility requirements,15 the Court considers
it superfluous to rule on the other admissibility requirements.
50. Accordingly, the Court declares the Application inadmissible.
VII. COSTS
51. The Court notes that the Applicant requests the Court to order the Respondent
State to bear costs.
52. The Respondent State did not submit on costs.
***
53. Rule 32(2) of the Rules provides as follows: “Unless otherwise decided by the
Court, each Party shall bear its own costs, if any”.
54. The Court considers that, in the present case, there is no reason to depart from
that principle.
55. Accordingly, the Court decides that each Party shall bear its own costs.
