African Freedom of Expression Exchange e 15 Outros (Representados por FOI Attorneys)

Applicant

Argélia e 27 Outros Estados

Respondent

Procedural Posture

Human Rights Complaint / Admissibility Decision

  1. 1 Whether the complaint meets the admissibility criteria under Article 93(2)(d) of the African Commission's Rules of Procedure (2010)
  2. 2 Whether the facts alleged constitute a prima facie violation of Articles 9, 10, and 11 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights

Ratio Decidendi

The complaint was not accepted because it failed to meet the admissibility criteria, specifically the requirement to provide specific allegations and preliminary evidence of violations. The applicants' submissions were found to be vague, general, and lacking in substantiated facts or proof against the respondent States, preventing the Commission from inferring a prima facie violation of the African Charter.

Court Disposition

Complaint not accepted (inadmissible)

Orders

  • The complaint is not accepted for failing to satisfy the admissibility criteria under Article 93(2) of the Rules of Procedure (2010).
