*** 53. The Court notes that there is a correlation between equality before the law and the right to enjoy the rights enshrined in the Charter without discrimination, insofar as the entire legal structure of national and international public order is based on this principle, which governs the enjoyment of the other human rights.10 54. The Court also recalls that as it has previously held “it is incumbent on the Party purporting to have been a victim of discriminatory treatment to provide proof thereof”.11 In any event, vague assertions that a right has been violated are not sufficient.12 55. In the present Application, the Court notes that the Applicants allege that the Respondent State excluded them from the list of trainee police inspectors and superintendents whose training was authorized by the Decree of 6 February 2006, whereas some of their colleagues in the same situation as them were included on the said list. 56. The Court also notes that Article 47 of the Decree of 6 February 2006 lays down the conditions relating to the date of graduation and the length of service required to qualify for training as police superintendents and inspectors.13 57. It also emerges from the record submitted by the Applicants that they all obtained their qualifications after the date on which the aforementioned Decree came into force. 10 See Open Society Justice Initiative v.
