their mental capabilities or disabilities as the case may be, are entitled to without discrimination. The Commission thus considered that human dignity is a right which every human being is obliged to respect by all means possible and confers a duty on every human being to respect this right.69 237. The Court observes that the alleged violation of the right to dignity of PWA is linked to evidence tendered on the treatment of PWA within the Respondent State. This relates to PWA being treated as commodities awaiting harvest and sale of body parts, occasioning brutal and severe attacks upon their person, in violation of their right to equal worth as human beings. 238. Furthermore, the Court notes from the record that the thriving and lucrative commodity trade has led to desecration of graves and grave robbery for body parts. This has created a climate of fear where PWA are incapable of enjoying their rights and freedoms and perceive their life as devalued vis-avis persons without albinism. 239. The Court also notes the submission by the Applicants as detailed above that PWA face assault from private parties in society motivated by beliefs in witchcraft and myth that undermine the equal enjoyment of human rights and freedoms of PWA in society. 240. The Court observes that the beliefs, which are prevalent in the Respondent State, lead to credible manifestations of harm suffered by PWA who are hunted for their body parts and even suffer ritual killing. In the Court’s view, such actions against PWA without concerted efforts to prosecute and punish offenders, leave an indelible mark on their right to dignity and cause them to feel ostracized from the society. 69 ACHPR, Communication Number 241/2001 - Purohit and Moore v.
