* Percentage figures are within each category of pre-admissible, admissible, inadmissible, discontinued, final views - violation, final views - no violation, and total. They are not derived within each regional group. For example, 10.1% of pre-admissible cases come from African states, not 10.1% of African cases are at the pre-admissible stage. Percentages may not total exactly 100%, due to the rounding of decimals.
