- BACKGROUND
The African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights (AFCtHPR) was established by the 1998 Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Establishment of an African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights (the Protocol). The Protocol entered into force on 25 January 2004, paving the way for the establishment of the AFCtHPR. It is the continent’s first judicial body and is responsible for the protection of human and peoples’ rights in Africa. The Court’s main mandate is to complement the protective mandate of the Banjul-based African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (the Commission). The seat of the Court is in Arusha, United Republic of Tanzania.
