The establishment of the 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 represents a monumental step forward in addressing crimes that deeply impact children across Africa. Historically, the pursuit of justice for grave violations of children’s rights has faced formidable challenges particularly, where perpetrators, including terrorist groups and traffickers, remain at large or unaccounted for, perpetuating cycles of violence. With its broad jurisdiction encompassing severe crimes such as genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, terrorism, and human trafficking, the merged Court is uniquely equipped to enhance accountability. 🎙️ Hon.
