Item type:Publication, Booklet on the Implementation of Decisions of The African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights / Brochure sur la Mise en Oeuvre des Arrêts de La Cour Africaine des Droits de l’Homme et de Peuples(Coalition for an Effective African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, 2021) Coalition for an Effective African Court on Human and Peoples’ RightsThe Coalition for an Effective African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights (the Coalition) was formed during the first conference for the promotion of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights establishing the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights (AfCHPR) in Niamey, Niger in May 2003. The Coalition is a membership based made up with Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), independent human rights institutions, legal and none-legal practitioners, and individual members. The key purpose for its establishment is to advocate for an effective and independent African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights in order to provide redress to victims of human rights violations and strengthen the human rights protection system in Africa. The Coalition secretariat is based in Arusha, Tanzania where it was registered under the Tanzania NGOs Act since the year 2007. The Coalition is aware that there is a growing concern regarding the non-implementation of the African Court judgments, yet implementation of judgments or decisions of the Court is one of the key aspects of the litigation process that would make the work of the African Court effective. For the time being, the concept of implementation of decisions of the Court is largely new to national stakeholders who need to be aware that implementation of regional decisions at national level needs to be monitored to enhance chances of success. It is with the above in mind that the Coalition developed this Booklet to provide basic understand of how regional decisions are received in the legal orders of selected countries for purposes of recognition and enforcement. Thus, the substantive part of this Booklet begins with an overall analysis of the legal and institutional framework put in place by the AU to ensure the implementation of the Court’s judgments. The sections that follow then discuss implementation at country level for each of the States that have lodged the Declaration giving the Court competence to adjudicate on cases brought by individuals and NGOs. For information purposes, the country sections first stress on the provisions of the municipal law governing recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. The reports move on to describe the domestic framework and actual processes of implementation of judgments for States that have been parties to proceedings before the Court.Item type:periodical.listelement.badge, Item type:Publication, The African Court of Justice and Human and Peoples’ Rights in Context: Development and challenges(Cambridge University Press, 2019) Jalloh, Charles C.; Clarke, Kamari M.; Nmehielle, Vincent O.Item type:Publication, Introduction to International Relations(University of London, 2016) Cox, M.; Campanaro, R.
