VIII     rulings of the Court: indeed, the judgments, advisory opinions and orders undoubtedly possess pedagogical virtues, the importance of which must not be underestimated especially in these initial years of the Court’s existence. Consequently, the Court should have seized the new opportunity20 offered by the present judgment to clearly lay down the conditions for admissibility of an Application for Revision, by making use of the rather wide power of interpretation implicitly conferred on it by Articles 60 and 61 of the African Charter, relating to “Applicable principles”.21 Fatsah Ouguergouz Judge                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Court of Justice and Human Rights both of which provide that no Application for Revision may be submitted after the expiry of a ten years deadline effective from the date of delivery of the judgment, revision of which is being sought. 20 See in this respect the Judgment rendered by the Court on 28 March 2014 regarding the interpretation and review of its Judgment of 21 June 2013 in the matter Urban Mkandawire v. Republic of Malawi, as well as paragraphs 9 to 16 of my separate opinion attached to that judgment. 21 The Protocol on the Statute of the African Court of Justice and Human Rights and the Protocol establishing the Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States belong without any doubt to the category of African instruments mentioned in Article 60; the Statute of the International Court of Justice, which forms an integral part of the United Nations Charter, is for its part clearly one of these “general international conventions laying down rules expressly recognized by Member States of the African Union”, referred to in Article 61.
