Abstract: The subject of this article is
the jurisprudence of the Court of the East

the protection of human rights. The
article examines in detail the
jurisprudence, which, to some degree,

human rights situation in the subregion.
The article demonstrates the existence of
complex, controversial problems, the
further functioning of the court of the
East African Community as a quasi-
judicial body for the protection of human
rights depends on the need to solve it.
The solution to these problems depends
to a large extent on whether member
states can agree to sign a protocol that
gives the Court jurisdiction to handle
complaints related to human rights
violations in the subregion.

and Peoples' Rights; East African
