C. Other admissibility requirements
52. Having found that the Application does not satisfy the requirements set out
in Rule 50(2)(f) of the Rules, the Court deems it unnecessary to rule on the
Application’s compliance with the admissibility requirements set out in
Article 56(1), (2), (3), (4) and (7) of the Charter, as restated in Rule
50(2)(a),(b),(c), (d) and (g) of the Rules, since these requirements are
cumulative.15
53. In view of the foregoing, the Court finds the Application inadmissible.
VII.
COSTS
54. None of the Parties made submissions on costs.
***
55. Under article 32(2) of the Rules of Court, “Unless otherwise decided by the
Court, each party shall bear its own costs, if any.”16
56. The Court considers that, in the circumstances, there is no reason to depart
from the aforementioned provision. Consequently, it orders each Party to
bear its own costs.
VIII. OPERATIVE PART
57. For these reasons,
