c. Are not written in disparaging or insulting language directed against the State concerned and its institutions or the African Union; d. Are not based exclusively on news disseminated through the mass media; e. Are sent after exhausting local remedies, if any, unless it is obvious that this procedure is unduly prolonged; f. Are submitted within a reasonable time from the date local remedies were exhausted or from the date set by the Court as being the commencement of the time limit within which it shall be seised with the matter; and g. Do not deal with cases which have been settled by those States involved in accordance with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, or the Constitutive Act of the African Union, or the provisions of the Charter. 38. In the present Application, the Respondent State raises two objections to the admissibility of the Application, that is, in relation to non-exhaustion of local remedies and the failure to file the Application within a reasonable time. The Court will, therefore, consider the said objections before examining other conditions of admissibility, if necessary. A. Objection based on non-exhaustion of local remedies 39. The Respondent State contends that the Applicant did not raise the specific allegations that he raises before this Court at the national courts. The Respondent State argues that the Applicant should have raised the alleged violation in relation to the “the omission in the charge sheet” and to the lack of free legal assistance before the national courts. Having failed to do so, the Respondent State argues that the Applicant did not exhaust local remedies. 40. The Applicant avers that the Application is admissible in accordance with Articles 6(1), (2) and 10 of the Protocol. 10
