*** 36. The Court notes that the Author is well identified and that its representatives are explicitly indicated. 37. The Court further notes that on 14 June 2021, in response to its request dated 9 June 2020, the Commission informed the Registry that no case related to the subject matter of this advisory opinion is pending before it. 38. The Court also confirms that the Author has provided the context within which the Request arises, which is the political, economic and social crisis wrought upon Africa, and the rest of the World, by the Covid-19 pandemic and which poses serious challenges to democratic governance, the rule of law and the promotion and protection of human and peoples’ rights, more generally, and the organisation of elections, more specifically. 39.
