Practical Guide on Admissibility Criteria

The Practical Guide on Admissibility Criteria is intended mainly for lawyers who wish to bring a case before the Court. It describes the conditions of admissibility which an application must meet. By publishing this comprehensive Guide the Court seeks to stem the flow of obviously inadmissible cases which are flooding it.
