the UDHR represents customary international law which is automatically binding on States. 36. As regards personal jurisdiction, the Court notes that it has personal jurisdiction insofar as the Respondent State is a party to the Charter and the Protocol and has deposited the Declaration provided for in Article 34(6) which allows individuals and non-governmental organisations with observer status with the African Commission on Human Rights to submit cases directly to it. 37. With regard to temporal jurisdiction, the Court notes that all the violations alleged by the Applicants took place after the Respondent State became a party to the Charter and the Protocol and after it had deposited the Declaration. Accordingly, the Court holds that it has temporal jurisdiction. 38. With regard to territorial jurisdiction, the Court notes that the violations alleged by the Applicants occurred in the territory of the Respondent State and therefore its territorial jurisdiction is established. 39. In view of the foregoing, the Court holds that it has jurisdiction to hear the instant Application. VI. ADMISSIBILITY 40. Article 6(2) of the Protocol provides: “The Court shall rule on the admissibility of cases taking into account the provisions of Article 56 of the Charter.” 41. In line with Rule 50(1) of the Rules, “the Court shall ascertain the admissibility of an Application filed before it in accordance with Article 56 of the Charter, Article 6 (2) of the Protocol and these Rules.” 9
