Of course it is not permanent. We are still in the process of having a permanently constructed building area of the court, but at least the court is somewhere where it can plan and execute its activities peacefully.<\/p>\n<p>We are very grateful to the government of Tanzania,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Justice Ore, they were still having meetings with relevant authorities to have such a permanent building, as already the court has secured the land, which, he said, was also a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>He was of the firm view that there was no doubt sooner than later they would get the permanent seat of the court.<\/p>\n<p>During the celebrations, the continental court is expected to conduct various activities, including holding a Judicial Dialogue for various justices from different African nations, training seminars for journalists and sports competitions for students. T<\/p>\n<p>he president also explained that the court is set to rename the Hall used for conducting of cases, which will be called Nelson Mandela, the founding father of South Africa and the Court\u2019s Library to be renamed Julius Nyerere, the founding Father of Tanzania.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out that the proposal to the two great leaders was a grand honour for their immense contributions in the protection of human rights of the people.<\/p>\n<p>The African Court on Human and People\u2019s Rights is the judicial arm of the African Union and one of the three regional human rights courts together with the European Court of Human Rights and the Inter- American Court of Human rights.<\/p>\n<p>It was established by virtue of Article 1 of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples\u2019 Rights on the Establishment of an African Court on Human and Peoples\u2019 Rights (the Protocol).<\/p>\n<p>The Protocol establishing the African Court on Human and Peoples\u2019 Rights was adopted on June 9, 1998 in Burkina Faso and came into force on January 25, 2004 after it was ratified by more than 15 countries.<\/p>\n<p>The mandate of the court is to complement and reinforce the functions of the African Commission on Human and Peoples\u2019 Rights, which is a quasi-judicial body charged with monitoring the implementation of the African Charter on Human and People\u2019s Rights.<\/p>\n<p>Out 55 Member States of the African Union (AU), 54 have ratified or acceded to the with the exception of Morocco and have therefore committed themselves to respecting the principles set out therein and only 31 Member States have currently ratified the Protocol establishing the African Court.<\/p>\n<p>Out of these, only six States have accepted the competence of the court according to its Article 34 (6), according to which individuals and NGOs can directly file cases to the African Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
