Arusha, 11 December 2020<\/em><\/strong>:\u00a0\u00a0 The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has deposited its instrument of ratification of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples\u2019 Rights on the establishment of the African Court on Human and Peoples\u2019 Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The instrument was deposited at the AU Headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on 8 December 2020. The DRC had signed the Treaty establishing the Court in September 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This brings the number of African Union (AU) Member States to have ratified the Protocol so far to 31 out of 55 States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u2019The DRC has moved a step to safeguard human rights. I strongly encourage the central African country to take one more bold step by making the Declaration (under Article 34(6) ) to allow NGOs and individuals to access the Court directly,\u2019\u2019 said Hon Justice Sylvain Or\u00e9, President of the African Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He reiterated to other AU Member States who have not made the ratification and the declaration to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other States which have ratified the Protocol are: Algeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, Comoros, Congo, Gabon, The Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Lesotho, Mali, Malawi, Mozambique, Mauritania, Mauritius, Nigeria, Niger, Rwanda, Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, South Africa, Senegal, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia and Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of to date, only six of 31 State Parties to the Protocol had deposited the declaration recognizing the competence of the Court to receive cases directly from NGOs and individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The six States are: Burkina Faso, Gambia, Ghana, Mali, Malawi and Tunisia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTES FOR EDITORS<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The African Court was established by virtue of Article 1 of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Establishment of an African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, to complement the protective mandate of the African Commission on Human and Peoples\u2019 Rights, with a view to enhancing the protection of human rights on the continent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. In addition to the ratification of the Protocol, States have to make a Declaration required under Article 34(6) of the Protocol to allow individuals and NGOs to bring cases directly before the Court. Without such Declaration, the Court would have no jurisdiction over cases brought by individuals and NGOs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The Protocol was adopted on 9 June 1998 in Burkina Faso and came into force on 25 January 2004.The Court officially started its operations in November 2006 initially in Addis Ababa and a year later moved to its permanent seat in Arusha, Tanzania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
