The African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights and The Prohibition of Corporal Punisment: A Jurisprudential Analysis in the Framework of Interjudicial Dialogue
Original language description
This article examines the evolving jurisprudence of the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights (AfCHPR) on corporal punishment, with a particular focus on its 2024 judgment in Kabalabala Kadumbagula and Daud Magunga v. Tanzania. The judgment addresses critical issues of juvenile justice, the right to legal representation, and the compatibility of life imprisonment and corporal punishment with human dignity and the best interests of the child. Through a close doctrinal analysis, the article demonstrates how the AfCHPR interprets regional human rights instruments in light of international standards, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), and comparative jurisprudence from the European and Inter-American systems. The article argues that the Court's reasoning in Kadumbagula represents a significant consolidation of its approach to the absolute prohibition of corporal punishment and contributes meaningfully to an emerging transregional consensus on the protection of children from violence. It further explores the Court's methodological engagement in interjudicial dialogue and assesses the judgment's potential impact on future African human rights litigation and legislative reform
