EDITORIAL
The African Human Rights Law Reports include cases decided by the United
Nations human rights treaty bodies, the African Commission on Human and
Peoples’ Rights and domestic judgments from different African countries.
This eighth volume of the Reports for the first time also includes judgments
that deal with human rights issues from the courts of African regional
economic communities. The Reports are a joint publication of the African
Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the Centre for Human Rights,
University of Pretoria, South Africa. PULP also publishes the French version
of these Reports, Recueil Africain des Décisions des Droits Humains.
The Reports, as well as other material of relevance to human rights law in
Africa, may be found on the website of the Centre for Human Rights at
www.chr.up.ac.za. Hard copies of the Reports can be obtained from the
Centre for Human Rights.
Editorial changes have been kept to a minimum, and are confined to
changes that are required to ensure consistency in style (with regard to
abbreviations, capitalisation, punctuation and quotes) and to avoid obvious
errors related to presentation. Quotes and references have, where possible,
been checked against the original. Corrections which may affect the meaning
are indicated by square brackets.
Cases from national courts that would be of interest to include in future
issues of the Reports may be brought to the attention of the editors at:
