Résumé de l'affaire: ECOWAS Court has jurisdiction over human rights violations under Article 9(4) of its Protocol. Mere allegation of human rights violation is sufficient to confer jurisdiction. The Court is not an appellate body for national court decisions but can hear claims of human rights violations arising from domestic proceedings. Cause of action exists when facts disclose a legal right, even if not yet legally maintained. Admissibility requires claimants to have victim status, not be anonymous, and not have the matter pending in another international court. NGOs with legal personality can represent victims in human rights claims. Representative actions require proof of victim status of grantor; indirect victims must provide credible evidence of relationship. Application dismissed due to lack of locus standi; grantors of mandate were neither direct nor indirect victims. Parties bear their own costs.

Résumé: Fatsah Ouguergouz is of the opinion that the Applicant indeed has the right to know why it has taken nearly one year between the date of receipt of his application at the Registry and the date on which the Court took its decision thereon. Senegal, on the other hand, has the right to know why the Court chose to make a solemn ruling on the application by means of a Judgment, rather than reject it de plano with a simple letter issued by the Registry. The two Parties also have the right to know the reasons for which their prayers in respect of the costs and expenses, respectively, of the case, have been rejected; the Applicant should also know why his prayer in this regard was addressed on the basis of Rule 30 of the Interim Rules of the Court (hereinafter referred toas the "Rules") on Legal Costs, whereas the Court could have equally, if not exclusively, treated this prayer on the basis of Rule 31 on Legal Assistance.

Résumé de l'affaire: Human rights claims require credible, concrete evidence, not mere assertions. States bear positive obligations to protect rights but liability depends on failure to fulfill these duties demonstrably. Freedom of movement, assembly, and security rights are fundamental but may be subject to lawful restrictions. Allegations of militia violence require evidence linking the militias to the State for State responsibility. The ECOWAS Court will not rule on claims lacking proof of rights violations.

Résumé: In a bid to modernise its legislation by bringing it in line with the evolving international human rights law, the Government of Mali launched, in 1998, a vast operation to codify the rights of individuals and the family. This project, which was subject to broad popular consultation, received expert input prior to the drafting of Law No. 201 1-087 establishing the Persons and Family Code. However, the Applicants submit that the law as promulgated violates several provisions of international human rights instruments ratified by the Respondent State.

Résumé de l'affaire: In Lacerda Yoann v. Republic of Cabo Verde (Application No. ECW/CCJ/APP/38/23; Judgment No. ECW/CCJ/JUD/17/25, 7 April 2025), the ECOWAS Court of Justice confirmed its jurisdiction and declared the application admissible. The Applicant, a Cabo Verde citizen, claimed that the State violated his right to health under Article 16 of the African Charter, Article 12 of the ICESCR, and Article 25 of the UDHR, by failing to provide access to necessary medicines for his hereditary immunodeficiency. The Court found that the Defendant State had authorized the import of the medicine and provided guidance on accessing it, but the Applicant failed to follow the prescribed procedures. Consequently, the Court held that the Defendant did not violate the Applicant’s right to health, dismissed all other claims as unfounded, and ordered that the parties bear their own costs.

Résumé de l'affaire: Law enforcement officials must use force only as a last resort, particularly in protests. The State has a positive duty to protect the right to life and physical integrity of individuals, including children. Violations of rights to physical integrity and protection from cruel treatment attract reparations. Disabled children are entitled to special care and rehabilitation, but applicants must show that assistance was requested and denied. Lack of evidence on State negligence or failure to provide care can result in dismissal of related claims.

Résumé: lt emerges from the file that the Applicant, Oscar Josiah and his wife, were married in 201 1 and were living together at Chankila village in the North West of Tanzania. At the time of their marriage, the Applicant's wife was pregnant by another man but apparently, the Applicant did not have any problem with this situation. The couple stayed together until 2 July 2012 when the wife gave birth to a child. On the same day, it is alleged that the baby died of unnatural causes after having been abandoned in the bush. A subsequent post-mortem medical examination revealed that the cause of the death was Hypoglycemia (lack of sugar in the blood) and Hypothermia (lack of bodily warmth). The Applicant and his wife were later charged with the offence of murder, the High Court acquitted the wife but convicted the Applicant and sentenced him to death. The Applicant subsequently appealed to the Court of Appeal of Tanzania, but the Court dismissed his appeal for lack of merit, in its judgment delivered on 25 February 2016.
