A member of the Court, Justice Dupe Atoki stated this at a press briefing on the sensitization mission of the court’s delegation to Lagos which held at Ikeja on Friday.
“A fully fledged community court of justice with all its attendant jurisdictional roles is one such institution; the community’s goal for a stronger economic integration must pay the price now by investing in institutions that will guarantee its existence.
According to her, individuals can access the court by lodging complaints of violations of human rights, which they have experienced from member states. Responding on ways the court can ensure compliance, Atoki said that the judges remained function officials, once they had delivered judgement, adding that it is not the duty of the court to press government to obey court orders.
