Xenophobia: Sue South Africa, SERAP tells African Commission XenophobiaInSouthAfrica
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, on Sunday, called on Mrs Soyata Maiga, the Chairperson of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the commission’s members to sue South Africa, over xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and other foreign nationals in the country in recent times.
SERAP said, “These attacks constitute serious violations of the human rights of Nigerians and other African citizens in South Africa.” ““For the sake of the victims, the commission should move swiftly on the matter to prevent further harm to Nigerians and other foreign nationals in the country. Unlike for individuals and NGOs, the African Court Protocol does not require Nigeria to have made the declaration under Article 34 for the commission to submit a case on behalf of the Nigerian victims before the Court.”
“If the commission does not pursue a case for compensation for victims, the Nigerian government may compel it to do so before the court. The call for an effective remedy and reparation for the victims of xenophobic attacks and violence is overwhelming, and comes from direct victims and their families, from the Nigerian government and the leadership of Nigeria’s National Assembly.
