with a provision of the said Act. The Court considers, therefore, that the Application is compatible with the Constitutive Act of the African Union and the Charter and holds that the requirements of Rule 50(2)(b) of the Rules are met. 53. The Court also finds that the language used in the Application is not disparaging or insulting to the Respondent State or its institutions in fulfilment of Rule 50(2)(c) of the Rules. 54. The Court further finds that the Application is not based exclusively on news disseminated through mass media as it is based on court documents from the municipal courts of the Respondent State in fulfilment of Rule 50(2)(d) of the Rules. 55. Further, the Application does not concern a case which has already been settled by the Parties in accordance with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, the Constitutive Act of the African Union, the provisions of the Charter or of any legal instrument of the African Union in fulfilment of Rule 50(2)(g) of the Rules. 56. The Court finds, therefore, that the instant Application meets all the admissibility conditions under Article 56 of the Charter, as restated in Rule 50(2) of the Rules, and declares it admissible. VII. MERITS 57.
