It promised to be a big day for the Court and so it proved, with the rendering of four judgements and one ruling. The Monitor will be delving into all five decisions over the next couple of weeks, but in the meantime here’s a snapshot of what happened today:
- Frank David Omary v. Tanzania– Court not persuaded by “new evidence” – 2014 judgement remains in force
- Mohamed Abubakari v. Tanzania– Violation of Article 7 African Charter and Article 14 ICCCPR
- Lohé Issa Konaté v. Burkina Faso – Reparations ruling- $70,000 awarded
- African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights v. Libya– Violation of Articles 6 and 7 African Charter
- Ingabire Victoire Umuhoza v. Rwanda– Rwanda’s Article 34(6) Special Declaration withdrawal subject to 12 month notice period and will not affect current and pending cases
Look out for our analysis on all these decisions in the coming weeks!
