The Speaker of the ECOWAS Parliament Sidie Tunis has advised Presidents and leaders of West African Nations to ensure obedience to the Community Court of Justice’s ruling.
Tunis, while making a remark at the opening of the International Conference to mark the 20th anniversary of the court, said the attitude of selective adherence to the ruling of the court was also diminishing the reputation of the Court.
The Speaker, who described the court as a beacon of regional justice, hailed the court for its numerous rulings which has brought about changes in the sub-region.
He however, emphasized that non adherence to most of its rulings by member states who are signatory to the protocol that set up the court was a disservice to the court and to West Africa.
Tunis therefore, called on Attorneys General in Member States to make concrete moves to ensure that the court and its ruling are accorded its pride of place in their countries.
