In the instant case, it is incontrovertible that the Applicant was resident in Qatar and applied in Kuwait for his name to be registered on the electoral roll at the Diplomatic Mission of Senegal in Kuwait. In compliance with the above-cited law, Karim Meissa Wade should have brought his application before the Head of the Diplomatic Mission in Kuwait to request for the restoration of his name on the electoral roll. By choosing to bring his application before the Tribunal d’Instance Hors Classe (TIHC) of Dakar, Karim Meissa Wade took the wrong judicial step in seeking justice. It was therefore well-founded that the Tribunal d’Instance Hors Classe (TIHC) of Dakar before which he came declared that it had no jurisdiction to adjudicate upon the matter he brought. Thereafter, the appeal he filed against the said order made by the TIHC was dismissed by the Administrative Chamber of the Supreme Court. The foregoing thus demonstrates that the Applicant exercised the effective remedy available to him. The Republic of Senegal did not therefore violate the Applicant’s right to effective remedy in so far as the text cited above made provision for persons who may have claims in regard to their registration on the electoral roll, to submit them. FOR THESE REASONS The Court, Adjudicating in a public hearing, after hearing both Parties, in a matter on human rights violation, in first and last resort, Declares that it has jurisdiction to adjudicate on the dispute; Declares that the Application filed by Karim Meissa Wade is admissible; Declares however that the said Application is ill-founded; Dismisses the Application; Asks the Applicant to bear the costs.
