The African Court of Human and Peoples’ Rights and the Right to Life and to Dignity
Original language description
This paper analyzes recent developments in the African regional human rights system, focusing primarily on the role of the African Court of Human and Peoples' Rights (AfCHPR). In a landmark judgment, Rajabu v. Tanzania, the AfCHPR ruled that Tanzania's mandatory death penalty for certain crimes violates the right to life and dignity as stated in the Banjul Charter. The court has maintained this stance in subsequent rulings. This paper examines the evolution of the court's arguments through its recent case law and highlights how the AfCHPR's orders for Tanzania to amend its laws have remained unimplemented. The court's position now regards these violations as systemic in nature.
