language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status. 75. The Court observes that the right to equality before the law and the right to non-discrimination guaranteed by the Charter are interrelated, insofar as the entire legal structure of the domestic and international public order is based on this principle of interrelation, which transcends all norms.25 76. The Court recalls its jurisprudence that “it is incumbent on the party purporting to have been a victim of discriminatory treatment to provide proof thereof”.26 The Court also reiterates that general statements to the effect that a right has been violated are not enough. More substantiation is required.27 77. The Court notes, in the instant case, that the Applicants allege that the Respondent State did not include them on the list of cadet Superintendents and Inspectors of Police whose training had been authorised under the Decree of February 2006, whereas some of their colleagues who were in the same situation as theirs were included on the list. 78. The Court observes that Article 47 of the Decree of 6 February 2006 sets out the date of graduation and length of service as prerequisites to qualify to train as Superintendents and Inspectors of Police.28 79. The Court also notes that it emerges from the documents produced by the Applicants that they all obtained their qualifications after the date of the aforementioned decree, a fact that they do not dispute.
