President, International Criminal Court (ICC), Justice Chile Eboe-Osuji, has urged judges of the ECOWAS Court of Justice to always uphold justice to protect human rights and dignity.
Eboe-Osuji, who was in the country to attend the 55th Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Heads of States and Governments, made the call in Abuja.
He said that both ICC and ECJ had similar mandates, hence the need to learn from each other and share best practices in other to uphold human rights and dignity despite the many challenges.
According to him, these are challenging times for justice but we must not give up. It is for all of us who care for humanity to speak up from whatever perspectives that we can.
Eboe-Osuji commended the ECOWAS Court of Justice on judgments delivered, stating that the court has effectively lived up to its mandates of defending the people of the sub region and protecting their human rights.
