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.

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.
