The African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights (AfCHPR) has resumed its hearing of the landmark case between the Ogiek community and the government of Kenya, marking a significant new phase in the long-running legal battle over land and cultural rights.
A public hearing was held this week in Arusha to monitor the implementation of the Court’s 2017 and 2022 judgments, and the Kenyan government was accused of violation of the Ogiek people’s human rights. This is the first case presided over by the Court's newly appointed president Modibo Sacko.
