USER GUIDE

The cases and findings in theReportsare grouped togehter according to their origin, namely, the United Nations, the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights and domestic courts. TheSubject index is divided into two parts — general principles or procedural issues, and substantive rights. Decisions dealing with a specific article in an international instrument are to be found in the list of International instruments referred to. A table that listsInternational case law consideredis also included. In these tables case references are followed by the numbers of the paragraphs in which the instruments or cases are cited. A headnote, to be found at the top of each case, provides the full original title of the case as well as keywords noting the primary issues in the case. These are liked to the keywords in theSubject index. Keywords are followed by the numbers of the paragraphs in which a specific issue is dealt with. In instances where the original case contains no paragraph numbers these have been added in square brackets. The date at the end of a case reference refers to the date the case was decided. The abbreviation before the date indicates the jurisdiction.
