A summary of select decisions released by the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) from its 29th, 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 35th and 36th Activity Reports. These reports cover selected decisions taken at the Commission’s 9th to 15th Extraordinary Sessions (March 2011 to March 2014) and at its 48th to 55th Ordinary Sessions (November 2010 to May 2014).

This summary was prepared with the assistance of the Human Rights Implementation Centre at the University of Bristol Law School, England.

This is our first summary of decisions at the ACHPR; previous Case Digests have summarized rulings at the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) and the Community Court of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
