- Title
Climate Change Litigation before the African Human Rights System: Prospects and Pitfalls.
- Authors
Suedi, Yusra; Fall, Marie
- Abstract
Africa is a promising regional venue for climate change-related complaints—not least because it is distinctively vulnerable to climate harms. Yet, neither the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights nor the African Court of Human and Peoples' Rights have been theatres to such disputes at the time of writing. In anticipation that climate litigation will emerge before the African human rights system, this practice note provides information to the non-State actors and their lawyers on the procedural challenges that may arise, demonstrating how such challenges may be circumventable in the African context.
