The Court found that both applications were filed against the same respondent state, concerned alleged violations of the same provisions of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, and sought similar remedies. The Court determined that joining the applications would promote the proper administration of justice and judicial economy. Pursuant to Rule 62 of the Rules of Court and relevant case law, the Court exercised its discretionary power to order the joinder of the two applications, concluding that such joinder was appropriate in fact and in law.
