Case Headnotes
ECOWAS Court has jurisdiction over human rights violations under Article 9(4) of its Protocol. Mere allegation of human rights violation is sufficient to confer jurisdiction. The Court is not an appellate body for national court decisions but can hear claims of human rights violations arising from domestic proceedings. Cause of action exists when facts disclose a legal right, even if not yet legally maintained. Admissibility requires claimants to have victim status, not be anonymous, and not have the matter pending in another international court. NGOs with legal personality can represent victims in human rights claims. Representative actions require proof of victim status of grantor; indirect victims must provide credible evidence of relationship. Application dismissed due to lack of locus standi; grantors of mandate were neither direct nor indirect victims. Parties bear their own costs.

Case Headnotes
Human rights claims require credible, concrete evidence, not mere assertions. States bear positive obligations to protect rights but liability depends on failure to fulfill these duties demonstrably. Freedom of movement, assembly, and security rights are fundamental but may be subject to lawful restrictions. Allegations of militia violence require evidence linking the militias to the State for State responsibility. The ECOWAS Court will not rule on claims lacking proof of rights violations.

In Lacerda Yoann v. Republic of Cabo Verde (Application No. ECW/CCJ/APP/38/23; Judgment No. ECW/CCJ/JUD/17/25, 7 April 2025), the ECOWAS Court of Justice confirmed its jurisdiction and declared the application admissible. The Applicant, a Cabo Verde citizen, claimed that the State violated his right to health under Article 16 of the African Charter, Article 12 of the ICESCR, and Article 25 of the UDHR, by failing to provide access to necessary medicines for his hereditary immunodeficiency. The Court found that the Defendant State had authorized the import of the medicine and provided guidance on accessing it, but the Applicant failed to follow the prescribed procedures. Consequently, the Court held that the Defendant did not violate the Applicant’s right to health, dismissed all other claims as unfounded, and ordered that the parties bear their own costs.

lt emerges from the file that the Applicant, Oscar Josiah and his wife, were married in 201 1 and were living together at Chankila village in the North West of Tanzania. At the time of their marriage, the Applicant's wife was pregnant by another man but apparently, the Applicant did not have any problem with this situation. The couple stayed together until 2 July 2012 when the wife gave birth to a child. On the same day, it is alleged that the baby died of unnatural causes after having been abandoned in the bush. A subsequent post-mortem medical examination revealed that the cause of the death was Hypoglycemia (lack of sugar in the blood) and Hypothermia (lack of bodily warmth). The Applicant and his wife were later charged with the offence of murder, the High Court acquitted the wife but convicted the Applicant and sentenced him to death. The Applicant subsequently appealed to the Court of Appeal of Tanzania, but the Court dismissed his appeal for lack of merit, in its judgment delivered on 25 February 2016.

The Court found that allegations of theft fall within the realm of criminal law and lie outside the Court’s jurisdiction. The claim under Article 26 of the ICCPR for equality before the law was dismissed for lack of factual basis.

Case Headnotes
The request for Advisory opinion is submitted by the Socio Economic Rights and Accountability Project on the basis of clarifying whether the organization is recognized by the AU. SERAP argues it should be recognized by the African Union on the basis that is an African organization that is registered in Nigeria. SERAP also argues that due to its observer status with the African Commission it has the competence to request an opinion relating to any question within the scope of the ACFPR. But since SERAP doesn’t have a memorandum of understanding with the African union, it isn’t entitled to bring a request for advisory opinion before the court. The Court couldn’t give an opinion on the request due to not having personal jurisdiction.
