In its opinion, this only confirms its overreliance on the mass media to establish its claims, since it repeatedly refers to media sources in support of its allegations. 271. At the hearing, the Respondent State reiterated the content of its submissions. It contended that the objection should be upheld insofar as the Applicant State exclusively references media reports, some of which are dubious. 272. The Respondent State further submitted that the documents from United Nations bodies or the communiqués from regional bodies attached to the Application dealt only with the general situation prevailing in the eastern part of the Applicant State’s territory. *** 273. The Court observes that the expression “mass media” refers, especially, to posters, cinema and the written or audiovisual press. It does not extend to information from a governmental or intergovernmental sources. 274. The Court notes that in the present case, although it is true that the Applicant State attached to its Application press releases and other media publications, among other documents, the fact remains that they are only intended to substantiate its allegations. Additionally, apart from these press releases and media publications, the Applicant State attached various documents to the Application, from a variety of sources, including the African Union and the United Nations.38 275. In addition, the Court considers that these documents are only intended to support the allegations contained in the Application.
