Applications filed before the Court shall comply with all of the following conditions: a. Indicate their authors, even if the latter request anonymity; b. Are compatible with the Constitutive Act of the African Union and with the Charter; 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 the Commission is seized 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 Charter of the Organization of African Unity or the provisions of the Charter. 40. The Court notes that the Respondent State raises an objection based on non-exhaustion of local remedies. The Court will rule on the said objection before examining the other admissibility requirements, if necessary. A. Objection to admissibility based on failure to exhaust local remedies 41. The Respondent State submits that the Application is inadmissible for failure to exhaust local remedies, insofar as the case is still pending before the domestic courts. 42. It submits, in effect, that the Applicant should have exhausted the said remedies since notarial deed attached to the Application affords the Applicant an avenue to initiate civil actions in domestic courts to recover his debt, but he failed to do so. * 11
