Arusha, 4 February 2025<\/em><\/strong>:<\/strong> The African Court on Human and Peoples\u2019 Rights (AfCHPR) has opened its 2025 Judicial Year with a call to action, underscoring a strong commitment to justice and ensuring those who have suffered harm receive proper redress across the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening ceremony held under the theme \u201cAdvancing Justice through Reparations<\/em>\u201d, took place at the Seat of the Court in Arusha, United Republic of Tanzania, and was graced by His Excellency Jos\u00e9 Maria Pereira Neves, President of the Republic of Cape Verde, as the Guest of Honour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his keynote address, President Neves underscored the importance of addressing historical injustices that have shaped Africa\u2019s socio-political landscape. He emphasized that reparations go beyond material compensation and should embrace a holistic approach, integrating fundamental pillars such as education, healthcare and cultural preservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe issue of reparations is not just about financial compensation. It is about restoring dignity, investing in our people, and ensuring that the injustices of the past do not define our future. True reparatory justice must include social, economic, and political structures that empower African societies,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Representing the African Union Commission (AUC), Her Excellency Dr Monique Nsanzabaganwa, Deputy Chairperson, commended the African Court\u2019s efforts in strengthening reparatory justice mechanisms. She reaffirmed the AU\u2019s dedication to ensuring that 2025, designated as the Year of Reparations, leads to tangible outcomes for affected communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReparations are not about rewriting history but about confronting the injustices that persist. The AU remains committed to working alongside the African Court and all stakeholders to ensure that justice, dignity and equity prevail across the continent.\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On her part, the President of the African Court, Hon. Lady-Justice Imani Daud Aboud, reiterated the Court\u2019s unwavering commitment to providing legal clarity and pathways for reparatory justice. She stressed that reparations are a vital part of the judicial process, ensuring that victims of human rights violations receive meaningful redress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe African Court remains resolute in its mission to protect human and peoples\u2019 rights and advance justice. The opening of the Judicial Year serves as a solemn reminder of our duty to ensure that reparations become an integral part of justice delivery across the continent,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goodwill statements were also delivered by the Chief Justice and President of the Supreme Court of the Kingdom of Eswatini who is also the President of the Southern and Eastern Africa Conference of Chief Justices – Honourable Bheki M. C. Maphalala, Presiding Officer of the African Union Economic, Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOCC) Mr. Khalid Boudali, and Chairperson of Network of African National Human Rights Institutions (NANHRI), Dr Joseph Whittal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event brought together leaders and representatives of African Union Member States, international, regional and national Courts, African Union organs with a human rights mandate, national human rights institutions, legal professionals and Bar Associations, to underscore the pivotal role of reparations in advancing justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the ceremony, the Court hosted a Judicial Seminar on \u201cRendering Justice for Women through Reparations<\/em>,\u201d bringing together legal scholars, experts, and advocates who discussed how reparations address historical inequalities and human rights violations affecting women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Opening of the 2025 Judicial Year also marked the commencement of the 76th<\/sup> Ordinary Session of the Court, running from 3 to 28 February 2025<\/strong> at its Seat in Arusha, Tanzania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
