| The faltering and lilly-livered ECOWAS Community court of justice lacks judicial courage |
Press Release
With utter disappointment and feelings of distraught, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have determined that the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice (ECCJ) lacks the courage to deliver justice dispassionately. According to information from its website, the ECCJ “has jurisdiction to determine cases of violation of human rights that occur in any Member State.“ Regarding applicable laws, the ECCJ noted on its website that it “applies Treaty, Conventions, Protocols, and Regulations adopted by ECOWAS as well as Article 38 of the Statute of International Court of Justice.“ The regional court further stated that “in the area of human rights protection, the ECCJ equally applies international instruments relating to human rights ratified by the State or States party to the case.“ Then why is the ECCJ afraid to give decisive judgment on the case of Nnamdi Kanu versus Federal Government of Nigeria? Why are the Judges postponing the ruling date in perpetuity, if they have nothing to hide?
