protection, namely, according to the Respondent State, the remedies for any victims before Rwandan courts. 312. The Court notes, without prejudging the merits of the Application, that the allegations by the Applicant State suggest systemic and massive violations, notably based on the number of alleged victims.42 In the circumstances, the Court finds that it is neither reasonable nor practical to require prior exhaustion of local remedies.43 313. Accordingly, the Court dismisses this limb of the objection to admissibility based on non-exhaustion of local remedies available under the rules of diplomatic protection. b. On alleged non-exhaustion of existing regional and international remedies 314. According to the Respondent State, Article 50 of the Charter does not specify exactly which remedies must be exhausted, particularly in interState proceedings, which remain exceptional cases before both the Commission and the Court. 315. The Respondent State submits that the determination of such remedies requires examination in the light of the rules of interpretation set out in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties 1969 (VCLT). In this respect, it argues that Article 56(5) of the Charter must be interpreted in the light of Article 31(3)(c), in the sense that “any relevant rules of international law applicable in the relations between the parties” shall be taken into account, 42 See p. 4 of Application: 130 dead as a result of the Kishishe-Bambo massacre on 29 and 30 November 2022; 20,000 children deprived of school education; 520,000 internally displaced persons. See pages 6 and 7 of the Application: at least 17 dead as a result of the Ruvumu massacre on 21 June 2022; at least 30 dead as a result of the Kazaroho massacre on 26 February 2023. 43 African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, Communications 54/91-61/91-96/93-98/93164/97_196/97-210/98 : Malawi Africa Association, Amnesty International, Madam Sarr Diop, InterAfrican Union for Human Rights and RADDHO , Association of Widows and Beneficiaries, , Mauritanian Human Rights Association v.
