The conference will address this paradox and investigate which forms of judicial power are being favoured by African States on the one hand and African supranational courts on the other. It will analyse to what extent approaches of activism or, conversely, restraint, are being considered as legitimate and effective by these actors.<\/p><p>The conference will address dynamics that are potentially common to supranational institutions operating in different fields of law, such as the African Court of Human and Peoples\u2019 Rights, the Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the Court of Justice and Arbitration of the Organisation pour l\u2019harmonisation en Afrique du droit des affaires (OHADA), and the East African Court of Justice.<\/p><p>L&rsquo;Afrique compte un nombre \u00e9lev\u00e9 de juridictions supranationales; cependant, il semble que les \u00c9tats membres ne soient pas toujours enclins \u00e0 se conformer aux d\u00e9cisions rendues. La conf\u00e9rence abordera ce paradoxe et cherchera \u00e0 mettre en lumi\u00e8re quelles formes de pouvoir judiciaire sont favoris\u00e9es respectivement par les \u00c9tats africains et les juridictions supranationales africaines. Les participants analyseront dans quelle mesure les approches activistes de ces juridictions ou, inversement, leur autolimitation, sont consid\u00e9r\u00e9es l\u00e9gitimes et efficaces par ces acteurs.<\/p><p>La conf\u00e9rence traitera ainsi de dynamiques du pouvoir judiciaire qui seraient potentiellement communes aux institutions supranationales op\u00e9rant dans diff\u00e9rents domaines du droit, telles que la Cour africaine des droits de l&rsquo;homme et des peuples, la Cour de justice de la Communaut\u00e9 \u00e9conomique des \u00c9tats de l&rsquo;Afrique de l&rsquo;Ouest (CEDEAO), la Cour Commune de Justice et d&rsquo;Arbitrage (CCJA) de l&rsquo;Organisation pour l&rsquo;Harmonisation en Afrique du Droit des Affaires (OHADA), et la Cour de Justice de l&rsquo;Afrique de l\u2019Est.<\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":6948,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"event_start_date":"2018-09-21 09:30:00","event_end_date":"2018-09-21 17:30:00","event_speaker_name":"","event_speaker_link":"","event_is_online":false,"event_location":"University of Luxembourg \r\nBatiment Weicker \u2013 Salle B001\r\n4, Rue Alphonse Weicker\r\nl-2721 Luxembourg\r\n","event_street":"","event_location_link":"","event_zip_code":"","event_city":"","event_country":"LU"},"events-topic":[313],"events-type":[],"organisation":[104,101,226],"authorship":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
