Court to examine failure by the Republic of Senegal to fulfil its Community obligations, are inadmissible, for lack of locus standi; (…) that the enforcement of the judgments of the Court of Justice of ECOWAS is not an option but an obligation upon the Member States and Institutions of the Community, pursuant to Article 15(4) of the Revised Treaty of ECOWAS” See also the case of GNASSINGBE KPATCHA v. REPUBLIC OF TOGO (ECW/CCJ/JUD/19/13). Under the relevant Texts of the Community Court of Justice, ECOWAS, a mere interest in a problem, no matter how qualified an individual or group/organization is in evaluation of the problem, it is not sufficient by itself to render such an individual group/organization adversely affected or aggrieved for the purpose of giving it standing to obtain judicial decision. Only real party in interest as contemplated for in the Texts of the Court has the right to be heard in appropriate cases. On the basis of the foregoing, the Court holds that the Plaintiff lacks the locus standi to prosecute this suit against the 16th and 17th Defendants. The 16th and 17th Defendants have not violated any human rights of the Plaintiff to warrant an action before this Court against them. One may ask, what human rights of the Plaintiff have been or are about to be breached by the defendants to clothe him with this action? In the candid view of this Court, this not a human rights action, and it must fail as such. 20
