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. 15 Yacouba Traoré v.
