Africa Before the Court
Africa Before the Court follows one case a week in which Africa's interests are argued in the world's courtrooms.
Weekly · 45 seconds · Widens the field: the law
One case a week, from the world's courtrooms to Africa's door.
The brief that reads the law the way GA reads the news: who is doing what, and with what consequences for African interests.
Every week, Africa's interests are argued somewhere in the world's courtrooms: an arbitration tribunal in Paris or London, the International Court of Justice, the World Trade Organization, a commercial court in New York, an appeals court in Brussels. Africa Before the Court takes one case a week: the parties, the stake, the deadline, and the ruling that follows Africa home. Five seconds for the case. Thirty for the parties, the claim, the amounts and the calendar. Ten for what the ruling will change for a state, a company or a citizen. Sources: court records, tribunal calendars, the lawyers on both sides. The brief that reads the law the way GA reads the news: who is doing what, and with what consequences for African interests.
