il. The relationship between Articles 3 and 7 of the Protoco! as regards the Court's subject-matter jurisdiction: confirmation in the second wave of decisions 21.fhe drafters of the Protocol provided ludges with a kind of "loolbox" through these two articles, which they would make good use of. They are only bound by the consistency and the motivation of their choice. lndeed, quite obviously, the two articles have often been used together in the Court's second decade of activity. lt will first be shown that the Court's approach is also present in international litigation. A The Court's approach is confirmed by the practice of international litigation 22.This approach is known from international litigation, even before the African Court was established. lt is, in fact, consistent with the logic of law. lts manifestation can be found in jurisprudential work as old as that of the Permanent Court of lnternational Justice (PCIJ) confirmed by the.jurisprudence of the lnternational Court of Justice (lCJ). 23.|t was by reasoning on its applicable law that the PCIJ extended its jurisdiction to human rights issues long before the wave of such law following the Second World War. The august Court was already doing its job of protecting fundamental rights in well-known cases12. 24.There has been a known shift in the jurisdiction of arbitral tribunals in this area. The jurisdiction of these courts is strictly fixed within conventional limits, but they have integrated human rights issues by making applicable a specific reading of their law13. 'r (lPJI.
