centre for human rights and others v united republic of tanzania application no 0192018 2025 afchpr 4 5 february 2025
The Court found that Tanzania violated the rights of persons with albinism by failing to take sufficient measures to prevent, investigate, and punish attacks, killings, and discrimination; by failing to provide adequate education and health services; and by not ensuring the best interests of children with albinism. The State’s legislative and policy measures were found insufficient, and the violations were attributable to the State due to lack of due diligence and effective remedies.
