About the project
The commentary has been prepared by the Centre for Human Rights, Faculty of Law, University of Pretoria.

The commentary is meant to assist interested persons to access the Court's case law. It is not a Court document and there is no guarantee of accuracy. The judgments and rulings linked on this website have been obtained from the African Court's web site and have been scanned with OCR to improve accessibility. Users of this database are advised to also consult the African Court's website.
