Resumo do Caso
Chacha Jeremiah Murimi, a Tanzanian national, was convicted of murder by the High Court of Tanzania and sentenced to the mandatory death penalty by hanging. His conviction and sentence were upheld by the Court of Appeal of Tanzania. He filed an application before the African Court alleging that Tanzania had violated his rights under the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights through the imposition of the mandatory death penalty and various aspects of his criminal proceedings. Owing to the similarity of the legal and factual issues, the Court consolidated his application with Application No. 040/2019 (Mathew Jeremiah Daud) and Application No. 041/2019 (Paschal Ligoye Mashiku) and delivered a single judgment.

Resumo do Caso
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.

Resumo do Caso
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.

Resumo do Caso
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.

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.

Resumo do Caso
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.

Resumo do Caso
Orikri Rhahor, a Nigerian citizen sentenced to death by hanging by the Delta State High Court on 10 July 2024, brought an application before the ECOWAS Court alleging that his criminal trial violated his fundamental human rights. He argued that the trial court relied entirely on the prosecution's evidence without properly considering his defence, resulting in an unfair trial and continued detention under a death sentence. Nigeria challenged the Court's jurisdiction, arguing that the ECOWAS Court could not review decisions of national courts. The ECOWAS Court rejected this objection, holding that while it is not an appellate court over national courts, it has jurisdiction to examine allegations that judicial decisions have resulted in human rights violations. The Court therefore declared the application admissible

The Court consolidated his application with those of Chacha Jeremiah Murimi (Application No. 039/2019) and Mathew Jeremiah Daud (Application No. 040/2019) because they raised substantially similar legal issues concerning the mandatory death penalty.

SERAP challenged Nigeria's 2024 amendment to the Cybercrime Act, arguing that the cyberstalking provision (Section 24) was vague and had been used to suppress freedom of expression, information and media freedom through the harassment and prosecution of journalists, activists and social media users. Although the ECOWAS Court found the application admissible, it held that SERAP had not produced sufficient evidence either that the amended legislation was inherently incompatible with international human rights standards or that Nigerian authorities had arbitrarily applied it in the manner alleged. Accordingly, the Court dismissed all substantive claims on the merits and ordered each party to bear its own costs.
