Procedural Posture

Human Rights Petition / Final Judgment (mérito E Reparações)

  1. 1 Whether the applicant's rights to non-discrimination, equality before the law, and fair trial under the African Charter were violated by the Supreme Court of Ghana's decisions and procedures.

Ratio Decidendi

The Court found that the applicant failed to demonstrate any violation of his rights to non-discrimination, equality before the law, or fair trial. The Supreme Court of Ghana acted within its constitutional powers, the applicant was afforded opportunities to be heard, the composition of the Review Panel did not in itself indicate partiality, and comments by a single judge did not taint the impartiality of the tribunal as a whole. No evidence of discrimination or unequal treatment was established. Domestic remedies were deemed exhausted, and the application was filed within a reasonable time given the circumstances.

Court Disposition

Application dismissed; no violation found.

Orders

  • The Court denies all exceptions to its jurisdiction.
  • The Court declares the application admissible.
