29. The Court underscores that the local remedies to be exhausted are those of a judicial nature. They must be available, in the sense that they can be used without hindrance by the Applicant, and effective in the sense that they are “capable of giving satisfaction to the Applicant or of remedying the situation in dispute”.5 30. The Court underlines that it is not enough for an Applicant to cast doubt on the availability or effectiveness of local remedies. Rather, it is up to him to take all necessary steps to exhaust, or at least attempt to exhaust, local remedies.6 31. In the instant case, the Court notes from the record, that the violations alleged by the Applicant result, from the Suspension Order of 28 July 2017 and the Dismissal Decree of 2 August 2017, as well as from the criminal proceedings initiated against him before the CRIET. The Court will determine whether local remedies were exhausted with regard to these two aspects. 32. With regard to the Suspension Order and the Dismissal Decree, the Court observes, in light of the Respondent State’s laws, that Article 827 of the Code of Civil Procedure7 governs cases brought before the Administrative Chamber of the Supreme Court for annulment on grounds of abuse of power by administrative authorities.8 It follows that actions seeking annulment of the Suspension Order of 28 July 2017 and the Dismissal Decree of 2 August Norbert Zongo and Others ’v. Burkina Faso (merits) (5 December 2014) 1 AfCLR 226, § 68; Konaté v. Burkina Faso (merits), supra, §108. 6 Noudehouenou v. Benin (jurisdiction and admissibility), supra, §40. 7 Law No. 2008-07 of February 28, 2011, Article 827: "The time limit for appealing on grounds of ultra vires is two (2) months. This period runs from the date of publication or notification of the contested decision. Before appealing against an individual decision, the applicant must submit a hierarchical or gracious appeal to have the said decision rescinded. If the competent authority remains silent for more than two (2) months, the application is deemed to have been rejected. The applicant has a period of two (2) months from the date of expiry of the above-mentioned two (2) months to appeal against this implicit decision. However, if an explicit rejection decision is made within this two (2) month period, the time limit for appeal starts running again. The time limits for lodging appeals do not start to run until the day of notification of the decision rejecting the appeal or the expiry of the two (2)-month period referred to in the previous paragraph. In tax matters, the applicable time limits are set by the General Tax Code and the tax laws in force". 8 Ibid, Article 818 paragraph 1: "The court ruling on administrative matters is competent to hear disputes concerning all acts emanating from all administrative authorities within its jurisdiction" 5 10
