C. Other conditions of admissibility
54. The Court notes that there is no contention regarding compliance with the
conditions set out in Rule 50(2) (a), (b), (c), (d) and (g) of the Rules.
Nevertheless, the Court must satisfy itself that these conditions have been
met.
55. The record shows that the Applicant has been clearly identified by name, in
fulfilment of Rule 50(2)(a) of the Rules.
56. The Court also notes that the claims that are made by the Applicant seek
to protect his rights guaranteed under the Charter in conformity with one of
the objectives of the Constitutive Act of the African Union (the Constitutive
Act), as stated in Article 3(h) thereof, which is the promotion and protection
of human and peoples’ rights. Furthermore, the Application does not
contain any claim or prayer that is incompatible with a provision of the
Constitutive Act. Therefore, the Court considers that the Application is
compatible with the Constitutive Act of the African Union and the Charter
and holds that it meets the requirements of Rule 50(2)(b) of the Rules.
57. The language used in the Application is not disparaging or insulting to the
Respondent State or its institutions or the African Union in fulfilment of Rule
50(2)(c) of the Rules.
58. The Application is not based exclusively on news disseminated through
mass media as it is based on court documents from the municipal courts of
the Respondent State in fulfilment of Rule 50(2)(d) of the Rules.
59. Further, the Application does not concern a case which has already been
settled by the Parties in accordance with the principles of the Charter of the
United Nations, the Constitutive Act, the provisions of the Charter or of any
legal instrument of the African Union in fulfilment of Rule 50(2)(g) of the
Rules.
