D. Alleged violation of the right of equal access to the public services of his country 87. The Applicant alleges the violation of his right of access to the public services of his country. 88. The Respondent State did not file a response. 89. Article 13(2) of the Charter provides: Every citizen shall have the right of equal access to the public service of his country. 90. The Court notes that the Applicant alleges the violation of his right of access to the public services. However, he does not adduce any evidence in support of this allegation. 91. The Court recalls the principle which holds that he who claims a right must prove that it exists.24 As the Applicant merely makes an allegation without providing proof, the Court, cannot adduce evidence on behalf of the Applicant. 92. Accordingly, the Court finds no basis to find the Respondent State violated the Applicant’s right of access to the public services of his country, as protected by Article 13(2) of the Charter. E. Alleged violation of the right to vote and to be elected 93. The Applicant alleges violation of the right to vote and to be elected. 94.
