[Abstract : This article discusses the legal regimes for enforcing foreign arbitral awards within the East African Community (EAC). It focuses specifically on the enforcement of awards from partner states as well as from the East African Court of Justice (EACJ), which, although a supranational court, has jurisdiction to accept parties’ designation to act as an arbitral tribunal. The EAC has not yet developed a supranational community law based regime for enforcing foreign arbitral awards. The current dominant regime for enforcing such awards is the New York Convention. The article examines how the convention has been applied in the partner states and discusses aspects of the existing jurisprudence that demand reconsideration. It examines the suitability of applying the convention regime to awards from the EACJ, and the case for harmonizing the legal regimes for enforcing foreign arbitral awards within the EAC]

Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3017160 [Abstract : This commentary exposes the time-limitation obstacle facing private litigants in accessing one of the African regional economic community judiciaries: the East African Court of Justice (EACJ). Steven Dennis v AG of Burundi & Others (Steven Dennis case) is the latest attempt that challenged the legality of the EACJ time limitation rule established under article 30(2) of the East African Community (EAC) Treaty. In that case, the applicant vowed to nullify article 30(2) of the Treaty, which confines private litigants to file cases before the EAC within two months. The provision is sketched in a discriminatory manner, as it is only applicable to private litigants, but not to other subjects subscribing to the Court. It should be recalled that article 30(2) was introduced during the 2007 disputed and faulted EAC Treaty amendment process. Having that in mind, perceiving article 30(2) was purposely inserted to curb direct individual access to the EACJ is logical. Coming into terms, EACJ’s strict interpretation on the article is causing many litigants not to be able to have their matters heard before the Court. This commentary, therefore, looks at Steven Dennis case, revealing the potential impact it may have to private litigants in accessing the EACJ. It is argued in this commentary that poor litigation strategies and the precedence from EACJ Appellate Division are major reasons for the dismissal of the case by the First Instance Division]

They constantly evolve responding to their socio-political dynamics. The East African Court of justice has evolved to deal with the rule of law and human rights related cases. Although the jurisprudence of the EACJ has been studied, the creation of the court and the origin of the provisions in which the court relies to decide human rights related matters has largely been unexplored. / This paper presents the first empirical analysis of the creation of the EACJ and the processes by which the provisions of the rule of law and human rights entered the Treaty for the establishment of the East African Community (EAC). The paper examines also the practice of the EACJ to show its evolution over time]
