Editorial

This is the first volume of the Reports of judgments, advisory opinions and other decisions of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights. This volume covers decisions from 2009, the year the Court delivered its first judgment, up to 2016. However, the years of coverage as indicated on the cover is 2006-2016, in recognition of the fact that 2006 was the year the Court was established with the election of the first judges and the holding of its First Ordinary Session.

The volume includes all the Judgments, including Separate and Dissenting Opinions, Advisory Opinions, Rulings, Decisions, Procedural Orders and Orders for Provisional Measures adopted by the Court during the period under review. Even though, as in current practice of the Court, decisions on lack of jurisdiction due to the Respondent not having filed an Article 34(6) Declaration would be administratively handled by the Registry without a judicial decision, all such early decisions are included in the present Report. The rationale is to provide the readers, especially researchers, with a comprehensive practice of the Court over its first decade of adjudication.

Each case has a headnote setting out a brief summary of the case followed by keywords indicating the paragraphs of the case in which the Court discusses the issue. A subject index at the start of the report indicates which cases discuss a particular issue. This index is divided into sections on general principles and procedure, and substantive issues.

User Guide

This first volume of the African Court Law Report includes 67 decisions of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights. Decisions in respect of the same case are sorted chronologically and grouped together, for example, procedural decisions, orders for provisional measures, merits judgments and reparations judgments. A table of cases setting out the sequence of the decisions in the Report is followed by an alphabetical table of cases. The report also includes a subject index, divided into sections on procedure and substantive rights. This is followed by lists of instruments cited and cases cited. These lists show which of the decisions include reference, in the main judgment, to specific articles in international instruments and case law from international courts and quasi-judicial bodies. Each case includes a chapeau with a brief summary of the case together with keywords and paragraph numbers where the issue is discussed by the Court or in a separate opinion. The year before AfCLR in the case citation denotes the year of the decision, the number before AfCLR the volume number (1), while the number after AfCLR indicates the page number in this Report.
