103. In Mr Y v. Tanzania before the RPD Committee,31 the complaint related to alleged violations of his rights to equality and non-discrimination, liberty and security of person, freedom from torture, freedom from violence and abuse, integrity of the person and education under the CRPD. 104. In Ms Z v. Tanzania, before the RPD Committee,32 the complainant alleged violations of her right to equality and non-discrimination, right to liberty and security of the person, freedom from torture, freedom from violence and abuse and integrity of the person as protected under the CRPD. 105. In the three cases, the RPD Committee made findings among others in respect of the rights to freedom from torture and non-discrimination. Conversely, the Application before this Court involves the rights to life, freedom from torture, dignity, effective remedy and the prohibition on sale and trafficking of children as guaranteed under the Charter, ICCPR and Children’s Charter respectively. 106. Although there is overlap of alleged violations, the cases brought before the two forums are distinguishable from three standpoints. Firstly, the rights to dignity, effective remedy and freedom from sale and trafficking whose violations are alleged in the present Application were not adjudicated in the cases before the RPD Committee. 107. Furthermore, in its above-mentioned decisions, the RPD Committee granted different reliefs and ordered the Respondent State to provide compensation for violations of individual’s human rights under the CRPD, while the Applicants before this Court have filed a case of public interest in which they allege massive and serious violations, and pray the Court for findings on violation and reparations that affect a wider spectrum of PWA. 31 UNCRPD, Mr Y v.
