Noudehouenou v Republic of Benin (Ruling) (Application No. 020/2020) [2025] AfCHPR 12 (5 February 2025)

Ayed v Tunisian Republic (Application No. 008/2019)

Ayed v Tunisian Republic (Application No. 008/2019) [2025] AfCHPR 10 (5 February 2025)

The Court found that the applicant did not exhaust available local remedies as required by Article 56(5) of the Charter and Rule 50(2)(e) of the Rules of Court.

The Court held that the requirement to exhaust local remedies is a prerequisite for…
