Paragraph 104
 

Article 93 newly lists the conditions for admissibility of appeals. While providing all possible reasons for inadmissibility contributes to having a defined due process, allowing for dismissal of appeals “in other cases laid down in this Chapter” leaves it too broad and possibly open to flexible interpretation, which is at odds with international good practice which prioritises the consideration of substantive grievances over opting for an overly formalistic approach. This option should be reconsidered.
