application becomes inadmissible.14 In the present case, since the Application has already been settled, the Court finds that the Application is inadmissible. The Court, therefore, dismisses it without needing to examine the other objections to admissibility raised by the Respondent State and the other admissibility requirements set out under Article 56 of the Charter and Rule 50 of the Rules. VII. ON THE REQUEST FOR PROVISIONAL MEASURES 63. The Court recalls that on 29 November 2021, it had decided that it would consider the Applicants’ request for provisional measures together with the merits of the Application. 64. The Court notes, however, that the present decision renders the said request moot. VIII. COSTS 65. The Applicants pray that the Court orders the Respondent State to pay their costs. 66. The Respondent State prays that costs be borne by the Applicants. *** 67. The Court notes that Rule 32(2) of the Rules of Court provides that: “unless otherwise decided by the Court, each party shall bear its own costs, if any”. Jean Claude Roger Gombert v.
