The Applicants also point out that Article 256 of Organic Law No 2016-046 of 23 September 2016, which lays down the rules for the organisation and operation of the Supreme Court of Mali (hereinafter “the Organic Law of the Supreme Court”), provides for the possibility of appeal in limited cases, for example, where there is an error in the application of the law or an erroneous interpretation thereof. *** 45. The Court notes that, according to the Respondent State, the Applicants did not exhaust local remedies as they failed to appeal against Judgment No. 258 of 5 May 2016 delivered by the Administrative Division of the Supreme Court. 46. The Court reiterates that any application brought before it must satisfy the requirement of prior exhaustion of local remedies,12 unless the remedies are not available, ineffective or insufficient or unless the proceedings in respect of such remedies are unduly prolonged. In its jurisprudence, the Court has held that the remedies to be exhausted must be ordinary judicial remedies.13 Consequently, local remedies have been exhausted once the Applicants have referred the matter to the highest court of the Respondent State with jurisdiction in the matter.14 47.
