46.In terms of Article 60 of the Charter, this Commission can also be inspired in this regard by the famous case ofBrown v. Board of Education of Topeka 1 in which the Chief Justice of the United State of America, Earl Warren argued that ‘equal protection of the law refers to ‘the right of all persons to have the same access to the law and courts and to be treated equally by the law and courts, both in procedures and in the substance of the law. It is akin to the right to due process of law, but in particular applies to equal treatment as an element of fundamental fairness’.

27. In the terms of Article 15 of the African Charter on Peoples' Rights, "Every individual shall have theright to work underequitable and satisfactory conditions, and shallreceive equal pay for equal work."In labour law, the concept of equal work for equal salary implies that two or several persons who carry outthe same job occupy the same position in an organisation must earn the same remuneration and have thesame prospects for promotion, except where the employer justifies a difference in treatment by objectivefactors not related to any form of discrimination. We hold that the objective of the principle of equal work forequal salary is to prohibit every form of discrimination between individuals who find themselves under thesame condition
