objection to the admissibility of the application based on non-exhaustion of
local remedies. The Court will, first, consider the said objection before
examining other admissibility requirements, if necessary.
A. Objection based on non-exhaustion of local remedies
32. The Respondent State submits that the present Application is inadmissible
insofar as the allegations raised therein were never examined by domestic
courts and, therefore, do not meet the requirement under Article 56(5) of the
Charter. In its view, the Applicant did not seize the competent national
bodies seeking settlement of the dispute or remediation of the violations she
alleges before this Court.
