41. The Court therefore holds that the Application does not meet the
requirement under Rule 50(2)(e).
42. In light of the foregoing, the Court considers that it is not necessary to
examine the other arguments advanced by the Respondent State in support
of its objection based on non-exhaustion of local remedies, namely, referral
to the Constitutional Court, filing a liability suit with the courts and the
request for parole, pardon or amnesty.
B. Other admissibility requirements
43. Having found that the Application does not comply with Rule 50(2)(f) of the
Rules, and given the cumulative nature of the admissibility requirements,11
the Court considers that it is superfluous to rule on the admissibility
requirements under Article 56(1), (2), (3), (4), (6) and (7) of the Charter, as
restated in Rule 50(2)(a), (b), (c), (d), (f) and (g) of the Rules.12
44. Accordingly, the Court declares the Application inadmissible.
VII. COSTS
45. Both Parties pray that costs be borne by the other Party.
***
46. The Court notes that under Rule 32(2) of the Rules, “unless otherwise
decided by the Court, each party shall bear its own costs, if any”.
