Arusha, Tanzania Website: www.african-court.org Telephone: +255-272-510-510 JUDGMENT SUMMARY rule of law. Consequently, the Court held that article 74(12) of the Respondent State’s constitution and article 119(13) of the Constitution of Zanzibar, in so far as they exclude the jurisdiction of courts to review decisions of the NEC and the ZEC violate Article 7(1)(a) of the Charter. On the alleged violation of Article 1 of the Charter, the Court recalled that when it finds that any of the rights, duties and freedoms under the Charter are curtailed, violated or not being achieved, it necessarily means that the obligations set out under Article 1 of the Charter have been violated. The Court thus held that the Respondent State violated Articles 3(2), 7(1)(a) and 1 of the Charter. The Court, having found that parts of article 74(12) and article 119(13) violate Articles 3(2) and 7(1)(a) of the Charter, ordered the Respondent State to take all the necessary constitutional and legislative measures, within a reasonable time, and in any event within 24 months of notification of the decision, to ensure that these provisions are amended and aligned with the provisions of the Charter so as to eliminate the violations of Articles 3(2) and 7(1)(a) of the Charter as established by the Court. The Court further ordered that the Respondent State publish this Judgment, both in Kiswahili and English, within a period of three months from the date of notification, on the websites of the Judiciary and the Ministry for Constitutional and Legal Affairs, and to ensure that the text of the Judgment remains accessible for at least one year after the date of publication. Concerning implementation and reporting, the Court ordered the Respondent State to submit to it within 12 months, from the date of notification of the judgment, a report on the status of implementation of the decision and thereafter, every six months until the Court considers that there has been full implementation thereof. On the costs, the Court ordered that each Party bear its own costs. 8
