\u00a0ADVOCACY FOR THE DEPOSIT OF ARTICLE 34(6) DECLARATION BY THE DRC<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

On Wednesday 21 August 2024, in Arusha, Tanzania, the Coalition met with the Deputy Minister, Hon. Samuel MBEMBA KABUYA, from the Ministry of Justice and Keeper of Seal of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Hon. Jean Pierre Massala, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary & Permanent Representative of DRC to the East African Community (EAC).<\/p>

The meeting afforded an opportunity to talk about the work of the African Court Coalition and its efforts to advocate for an effective, independent and accessible African Court on Human and Peoples\u2019 Rights. During the meeting, the Coalition stressed on the importance of depositing Article 34(6) Declaration of the African Court Protocol, of which the DRC is yet to do, to allow direct access to the African Court for individuals and NGOs with observer status before the African Commission on Human and Peoples\u2019 Rights (the Banjul Commission). The Coalition also handed over to the Deputy Minister a policy brief that it had prepared, explaining why it is important for DRC to show leadership and deposit Article 34(6) of the African Court Protocol. A copy of the same policy brief will be submitted to the Minister of Human Rights. He also reaffirmed DRC\u2019s commitment to the promotion and protection of Human Rights and access to justice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The DRC ratified the African Court Protocol in 2020 bringing the total number of African Union Member States who have ratified the Protocol to 34, out of 55.<\/p>

The Coalition extends its profound gratitude to the Deputy Minister and the Ambassador for affording us an opportunity to meet and discuss the work of the Coalition and the importance of the African Court in the promotion and protection of human rights in the continent. It is our hope that DRC will soon follow the footsteps of other champion State Parties who have deposited Article 34(6) to allow unlimited access for African citizens to the African Court and thus manifest commitment to the promotion and protection of human rights in the continent.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

Au cours de la r\u00e9union, la Coalition a soulign\u00e9 l’importance de d\u00e9poser la D\u00e9claration de l’Article 34(6) du Protocole de la Cour Africaine, que la RDC n’a pas encore fait, afin de permettre un acc\u00e8s direct \u00e0 la Cour Africaine pour les individus et les ONG ayant le statut d’observateur aupr\u00e8s de la Commission Africaine des Droits de l’Homme et des Peuples (la Commission de Banjul). La Coalition a \u00e9galement remis au Vice-Ministre une note de politique qu’elle avait pr\u00e9par\u00e9e, expliquant pourquoi il est important pour la RDC de montrer son leadership et de d\u00e9poser l’Article 34(6) du Protocole de la Cour Africaine. Une copie de la m\u00eame note de politique sera \u00e9galement soumise au minist\u00e8re des droits humains. Il a \u00e9galement r\u00e9affirm\u00e9 l’engagement de la RDC \u00e0 promouvoir et prot\u00e9ger les droits de l’homme et \u00e0 garantir l’acc\u00e8s \u00e0 la justice.<\/span><\/p>

La RDC a ratifi\u00e9 le Protocole de la Cour Africaine en 2020, portant \u00e0 34 le nombre total d’\u00c9tats membres de l’Union Africaine ayant ratifi\u00e9 le Protocole, sur 55.<\/span><\/p>

Nous esp\u00e9rons que bient\u00f4t, la RDC suivra les traces d\u2019autres \u00c9tats champions qui ont d\u00e9pos\u00e9 l’Article 34(6) pour permettre un acc\u00e8s illimit\u00e9 des citoyens africains \u00e0 la Cour Africaine et ainsi manifester son engagement \u00e0 promouvoir et prot\u00e9ger les droits de l’homme sur le continent.
