The African Human Rights Case Law Analyser is a tool provided by IHRDA that provides comprehensive access to African human rights laws, norms, and case decisions. Through this database, IHRDA seeks to aid research regarding human rights law in Africa, as well as increase general understanding of human rights judicial mechanisms.
The Case Law Analyser contains cases from six regional judicial institutions:
- African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights
- African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child
- African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights
- ECOWAS Community Court of Justice
- SADC Tribunal
- The East African Court of Justice
The vast majority of cases in the database come from the African Commission on Human and People's Rights (194 out of 253 cases). Further research will need to be conducted to further determine why this is the case. Finally, the Case Law Analyser database also includes the full text of the main regional human rights laws that inform the decisions of the court.
The African Human Rights Case Law Analyser is co-sponsored by IHRDA, Human Rights Information and Documentation Systems (HURIDOCS), and Open Society Foundations.
