95. Article 25(b) of the ICCPR provides: Every citizen shall have the right and the opportunity, without any of the distinctions mentioned in article 2 and without unreasonable restrictions: […] (b) To vote and to be elected at genuine periodic elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret ballot, guaranteeing the free expression of the will of the electors. 96. The Court reiterates the principle that the burden of proving a human rights allegation lies with the applicant.25 In the present case, the Applicant has not adduced any argument in support of the allegation of a violation of the right to vote and to be elected. The Court therefore considers that the related allegation is unfounded. 97. Accordingly, the Court finds that the Respondent State did not violate the Applicant’s right to vote and to be elected protected by Article 25 of the ICCPR. IX. REPARATIONS 98. The Applicant prays the Court to order the Respondent State to take all necessary measures to annul Order No. 2020-356 of 25 August 2020 issued by the President of the Abidjan CFI ruling on electoral matters. 99. He also prays the Court to order that the legal effects of that order be erased. 100. He therefore prays that all measures restricting his civil and political rights be lifted. 25 Konaté v.
