Wanajamvi jana nilikutana na gari lenye namba za mahakama ya Afrika [AFRICA COURT, J 4].Najua kulikuwa na mpango wa kuanzisha mahakama ya Afrika ili kuchukua nafasi ya UNICTR ambayo muda wake unamalizika mwishoni mwa mwaka huu.
Naomba kujuzwa kama tayari mahakama imeshaanza kazi.
Mahakama hiyo imeshaanza kazi siku nyingi sana. Ila kukusahihisha inachukua nafasi ya Kamisheni ya haki za binadamu ya afrika na siyo replacement ya UNICTR. Hizi zina jurisdiction mbili tofauti.
Its true ofisi zao ziko Arusha. For more details read below:
The
African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights is a regional court that rules on [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Union"]African Union[/ame] states' compliance with the
African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights.
It came into being on January 25, 2004 with the ratification by fifteen member states of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights Establishing the AfCHPR.
[1]
The court is in the process of being merged with the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Court_of_Justice"]African Court of Justice[/ame] following a decision by member states at a June 2004 African Union Summit.
The Court is located in
Arusha, Tanzania. Arusha was also the location selected in 1996 for the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Criminal_Tribunal_for_Rwanda"]International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda[/ame], which continues to function.
On January 22, 2006, the Eighth Ordinary Session of the Executive Council of the African Union elected the first eleven
Judges of the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights.
Judges are normally elected for six-year terms and can be re-elected once. The President and Vice-President are elected to two-year terms.
The Court had its first meeting on July 2-5, 2006.

[edit] Since 2006
On December 15, 2009, the Court has delivered its first judgment, finding an application against Senegal inadmissible.
[2] The plans to merge with the African Court of Justice appear to have stalled: as of December, 2009, only two countries have ratified the relevant protocol, out of 15 needed for its entry into force.
