a) Indicate their authors even if the latter request anonymity; b) Are compatible with the Constitutive Act of the African Union and with the Charter, c) Are not written in disparaging or insulting language directed against the State concerned and its institutions or the African Union, d) Are not based exclusively on news disseminated through the mass media, e) Are sent after exhausting local remedies, if any, unless it is obvious that this procedure is unduly prolonged, f) Are submitted within a reasonable time from the date local remedies were exhausted or from the date the Commission is seized with the matter, and g) Do not deal with cases which have been settled by those States involved in accordance with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, or the Constitutive Act of African Union or the provisions of the Charter. 32. The Court notes that the Respondent State raises two objections to the admissibility of the Application. The first objection is based on nonexhaustion of local remedies while the second is based on the fact that the application was not filed within a reasonable time. The Court will thus rule on the said objections before considering other admissibility requirements, if necessary. A. Objection based on non-exhaustion of local remedies 33. The Respondent State submits that under Rule 66 of its Court of Appeal Rules, as amended, the Applicant had a legal remedy to seek review of the Court of Appeal’s decision if he believed he had sufficient and convincing grounds, but did not pursue this remedy. Instead of pursuing the available remedy, he prematurely rushed to this Court to seek redress. Furthermore, the Respondent State contends that certain allegations are being raised before the Court for the very first time. 9
