Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A South Sudanese lawmaker, Juol Nhomngek, has accused Information Minister Michael Makuei Lueth of undermining the East African Court of Justice (EACJ).<\/p>\n

The accusation stems from Makuei\u2019s last week questioning of why cases are often referred to the regional court without going through South Sudan\u2019s national legal system.<\/p>\n

Makuei, a lawyer himself, expressed dissatisfaction with the EACJ\u2019s handling of matters. However, Nhomngek, representing Cueibet County in the national assembly, described the minister\u2019s remarks as \u201cderogatory.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour statement can amount to a flagrant violation of South Sudan\u2019s obligations under the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community,\u201d Nhomngek wrote in an open letter to the minister published by Sudans Post on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He cited the treaty signed in Arusha on November 30, 1999, and entered into force on July 7, 2000.<\/p>\n

Nhomngek further questioned why Makuei would undermine the credibility of international law.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaking derogatory remarks against an EAC organ and the community\u2019s governing law undermines the community itself and its work,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

South Sudan became a full member of the EAC in September 2016, following its accession to the treaty on April 15th of the same year. This was marked by the deposit of the instrument of ratification with the EAC Secretary-General in Arusha.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll treaties ratified by South Sudan, like the EAC Treaty, must be observed and implemented in good faith, as stipulated in Article 26 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, 1969,\u201d wrote the MP.<\/p>\n

Nhomngek emphasized that South Sudan\u2019s instrument of ratification for the EAC Treaty does not include any reservations to the treaty\u2019s provisions.<\/p>\n

This signifies unconditional acceptance of all EAC activities, including acceptance of the community, adherence to good governance principles, and potential contribution to regional integration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith full membership in the EAC, South Sudan acquired full and equal rights, obligations, and privileges,\u201d Nhomngek stressed. \u201cThe EAC Treaty obligations require South Sudan to unconditionally implement all its provisions without reservation or scepticism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nhomngek further reminded the minister of President Salva Kiir\u2019s recent role at the helm of the EAC, highlighting the involvement of South Sudanese individuals within the organization, including the Deputy Secretary General, members of the East African Legislative Assembly, EACJ Justices, and other staff.<\/p>\n
