Disputes on human rights violation before the ecowas court of justice

Mandated to make judgments on human rights cases since 2005, the ECOWAS Court of Justice has undeniably acquired the reputation of a forum for human rights protection. Part I of the book presents the body of case law emerging after fifteen years of practice. Part II is made up of a collection of studies whose themes centre on the major interrogations of international disputes on human rights. Part II closes up with a prospective reflexion on "The Future of the Court", where the author expresses his hopes, but also his serious concerns regarding what is to become of a court whose usefulness and cathartic function are not lost on him.
