JUDGES OF THE AFRICAN COURT ON HUMAN AND PEOPLES' RIGHTS

The eleven judges of the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights were sworn in on Saturday 1 July 2006 in Banjul, the Gambia. Then the judges had their first official meeting over three days. The first part of the meeting was open to interest groups. Members of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, ECOWAS Court of Justice as well as NGOs were present at the meeting. The judges then met in closed session to consider among other matters their Rules of Procedure.

The seat of the Court was confirmed as being Tanzania. It will most likely be located at the premises of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in Arusha, Tanzania. The ICTR is scheduled to complete its work by 2009.
