000{86 VI. ADMISSIBILITY 33. ln terms of Article 6 (2) of the Protocol, "the Court shall rule on the admissibility of cases taking into account the provisions of Article 56 of the Charter". Pursuant to Rule 39 of its Rules, "the Court shall conduct preliminary examination ... of the admissibility of the Application in accordance with Articles 50 and 56 of the Charter and Rule 40 of these Rules". 34. Rule 40 of the Rules, which in essence restates Article 56 of the Charter, stipulates that Applications shall be admissible if they fulfil the following conditions: "1 . lndicate their authors even if the latter request anonymity, 2. Are compatible with the charter of the organization of African Unity or with the present Charter, 3. Are not written in disparaging or insulting language' 4. Are not based exclusively on news disseminated through the mass media, 5. Are filed after exhausting local remedies, if any, unless it is obvious that this procedure is unduly prolonged, 6. Are filed within a reasonable period from the time local remedies are exhausted or from the date the Commission is seized of the matter, and 7. Do not deal with cases which have been settled by the States involved in accordance with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, or the Charter of the Organization of African Unity or the provision of the present Charter." 35. The Applicant submits that the Application discloses the Applicant's identity since he did not request anonymity. Furthermore, he avers that the Application accords with the objectives of the African Union because it invites the Courl to consider whether the Respondent State is meeting its obligations to protect the Applicant's rights under the Charter. ln support of his submission, he cites the case of Peter Chacha v Tanzania, where the Court held that an application will be admissible if its facts reveal a prima facie violation of a protected right.6 6Application No. 003/2012.
