Article 331. An application of the kind referred to in Article 11 of the Protocol shall state: (a) the name and address of the applicant; (b) the designation of the party against whom the application is made; (c) the subject- matter of the proceedings and a summary of the pleas in law on which the application is based; (d) the form of order sought by the applicant; (e) where appropriate, the nature of any evidence offered in support. 2. For the purpose of the proceedings, the application shall state an address for service in the place where the Court has its seat and the name of the person who is authorized and has expressed willingness to accept service. 3. In addition to, or instead of, specifying an address for service as referred to in the first subparagraph; the application may state that the lawyer or agent agrees that service is to be effected on him by telefax or other technical means of communication. 4. If the application does not comply with the requirements referred to in the first and second subparagraphs, all service on the party concerned for the purpose of the proceedings shall be effected, for so long as the defect has not been cured, by registered letter addressed to the agent or lawyer of that party. By way of derogation from Article 77(1), service shall then be deemed to be duly effected by the lodging of the registered letter at the post office of the place where the Court has its seat. 5. The application shall be accompanied, where appropriate, by the documents Specified in the first paragraph of Article 15 of the protocol. 6. If the application does not comply with the requirements set out in paragraphs 1 to 4 of this Article, the Chief Registrar shall prescribe a period not more than thirty days within which the applicant is to comply with them whether by putting the application itself in order or by producing any of the above-mentioned documents. 7. If the applicant fails to put the application in order or to produce the required documents within the time prescribed, the Court shall, after hearing the party, decide whether the non-compliance with these conditions renders the application formally inadmissible.

Guidelines on Freedom of Association and Assembly in Africa

71. Participating in and organizing assemblies is a right and not a privilege, and thus its exercise does not require the authorization of the state. A system of prior notification may be put in place to allow states to facilitate the exercise of this right and to take the necessary measures to protect public safety and rights of other citizens.50a. A notification regime requires that the presumption is always in favor of holding assemblies, and that assemblies not be automatically penalized, through dispersal or sanction, due to failure to notify, subject to the provisions further detailed below. b. Lack of notification shall not be understood to make an assembly illegal.
