Les réformes du système judiciaire de l’Union africaine: enjeux juridicoinstitutionnels sur la Cour africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples
Authors: Sylla Abdoulaye
Published: October 2023

Cette contribution étudie et démontre les raisons pour lesquelles les différents systèmes et modèles de justice – expérimentés, initialement, par l’Organisation de l’Unité africaine (OUA) et, actuellement, par l’Unionafricaine (UA) – sont fluctuants et instables. En effet, la Charte de l’OUA n’avait pas créé une Cour de justice, mais une Commission de médiation, de conciliation et d’arbitrage, chargée d’arbitrer les différends. Analogiquement, la Charte africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples de 1981 n’avait pas, non plus, institué une Cour, mais la Commission africaine desdroits de l’homme et des peuples dont les recommandations ne sont pas contraignantes. Pour combler les lacunes de cette Commission, l’OUA adopta, en 1998, à Ouagadougou, le Protocole instituant la Cour africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples dont les décisions sont, quant à elles, contraignantes. Cependant, entre-temps, l’OUA disparut avant l’entrée envigueur de cette Cour. De son côté, l’Acte constitutif de l’Union africaine (UA), qui remplaça la Charte de l’OUA en 2000, a prévu sa propre Cour de justice, qui sera instituée, trois ans plus tard, par un protocole adopté à Maputo en 2003. Ainsi, deux cours séparées et spécialisées devaient, parallèlement, exister à l’échelle continentale. Toutefois, pour des raisons de rationalisation, les deux protocoles, instituant respectivement ces deux cours, ont été fusionnés et substitués par le Protocole de Sharm El-Sheikh de 2008, qui crée la Cour africaine de justice et des droits de l’homme. Mais la structure interne et les compétences de cette future et unique Cour ont finalement été révisées et amendées par le Protocole adopté à Malabo en2014: une section pénale, compétente pour 14 catégories de crimes, a été insérée au sein de la Cour projetée. Instable et aléatoire, le système judiciaire de l’UA est, à ce jour, incertain dans son ensemble, d’autant plus que les réformes de 2008 et celles de 2014, moins réalistes, suscitent plus de questions qu’elles n’en résolvent. Les méthodes exégétique, positiviste,analytique et historique ont permis de démontrer que ces deux derniers Protocoles réformateurs – respectivement de 2008 et de 2014 – risquent de ne pas entrer en vigueur à cause des incidences et des conséquences normatives et procédurales tant sur le statut, les compétences et la composition de la Cour initiale que sur la protection juridictionnelle des droits de l’homme à l’échelle du continent africain.

En este trabajo se llevó a cabo el diseño conceptual y analítico de un prototipo a escala de una posible planta purificadora de caolín manufacturada en el Área Académica de Ciencias de la Tierra y Materiales del Instituto de Ciencias Básicas e Ingeniería de la UAEH, como parte del proceso de escalamiento de esta tecnología. Se analizaron datos de diseño y selección de materiales para este prototipo, pero es importante aclarar que no se han analizado la totalidad de los conceptos o datos para realizar el diseño de una planta piloto y mucho menos el diseño de una planta a nivel industrial. El diseño incluye la estructura de la planta, su funcionamiento, el cálculo de esfuerzos, el análisis de corrosión, los costos de los materiales de fabricación y los accesorios necesarios para mejorar su rendimiento. Se utilizó una metodología que permitió proponer cotizaciones entre los diferentes tipos de materiales seleccionados, incluyendo aleaciones de acero, fundiciones no ferrosas y una poliamida llamada Nylamid, basándose en una relación calidad de material/funcionamiento. Para lograr un diseño estable y confiable, se consideraron propiedades clave como la resistencia a la corrosión, la conductividad eléctrica y la resistencia al impacto.

Una parte importante para la aplicación de procesos electroquímicos en metales, es una adecuada preparación de la superficie; esto es crucial para obtener resultados precisos y confiables. Es por ello que se utilizan diversos métodos de preparación superficial, entreo los cuales el pulido mecánico se presenta como una alternativa segura y de bajo costo. Este método implica el uso de herramienta físicas y abrasivos para eliminar las imperfecciones en la superficie metálica, como líneas de esmerilado, rayones, defectos de la fabricación y picaduras. Sin embargo, no todos los pulidos mecánicos son iguales, y es importante determinar las irregularidades presentes en las superficies metálicas. Para ello, se pueden utilizar diversas técnicas de medición y análisis de superficie, entre las cuales destaca el interferómetro de Michelson con luz monocromática roja. Esta herramienta permite la medición de las irregularidades de la superficie, así como la determinación de la calidad y uniformidad del pulido.

Far-out syndrome is an unusual type of Bertolotti’s syndrome refers to L5 nerve root compressed by osteophyte in the extraforaminal zone, which leads to radical pain of the leg by radiculopathy. Conservative treatment is generally ineffective and requires operative decompression. We present the case of a 19-years-old patient complained of pain in the right lumbosacral and lower leg, failed for 2 months of conservative treatment. The patient was confirmed as far-out syndrome by imaging examinations showed the right L5 nerve root compressed by osteophytes from pseud arthrosis between the L5 transverse process and sacral ala. The Visual analog scale (VAS) pain score was 6 and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) was 53.33%. Then the osteophytes and pseudarthrosis were surgical removed and the L5 nerve root was decompressed through a posterior approach. The patient’s symptoms were significantly relieved after surgery immediately. The VAS score was 1 and ODI was 15.56% at 1-month postoperatively. At 1-year follow up, the VAS pain score was 1 and ODI was 11.11% and complete military trainings was resumed.

Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Nishtar Hospital, Multan. Period: January 2023 to June 2023. Material & Methods: A total number of 262 pregnant women aged 20-40 years, having gestational age 37 to 42 weeks were analyzed. Baseline demographic information of patients (age, gestational age, parity, weight and previous history of PPH) was taken. Mode of delivery (spontaneous/induced) was noted in all women and postpartum hemorrhage after delivery was also noted. Results: In a total of 262 pregnant women, the mean age was 31.28±4.96 years while mean gestational age at the time of delivery was 39.74±1.62 weeks. The mean weight was 64.47±7.65 kg. Comparison of the post-partum hemorrhage between modes of labour showed that 28 (21.4%) undergoing induced induction and 10 (7.6%) in spontaneous labour had post-partum hemorrhage (p=0.002). Conclusion: Post-partum hemorrhage is a common complication of induced labour. Postpartum hemorrhage needs to be taken into account especially when induction of labour is being considered.

Objective: To assess the prevalence, risk factors and outcome of acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates admitted in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of developing country. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Sheikh Saeed Memorial Campus (SSMC) of Indus Hospital and Health Network (IHHN), Karachi, Pakistan. Period: April 2022 to September 2022. Material & Methods: Four hundred and seventy-one newborns hospitalized to the NICU were analyzed. Demographic details along with maternal and neonatal history, vitals, and clinical signs of newborns were noted. All at-risk newborns had their urine output assessed. Serum creatinine levels were assessed to classify AKI into stages using modified KDIGO criteria. Results: Out of 471 participants, 256 (54.4%) neonates were male. The prevalence of AKI was noted in 42 (8.9%) neonates. Based on the modified KDIGO stages, 26 (61.9%), 7 (16.6%), 7 (16.6%), and 2 (4.7%) neonates met the requirements for AKI stages 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively. In comparison to newborns with normal renal function, newborns with AKI had significantly higher serum creatinine levels (p<0.001), lower urine output (p=<0.001), and lower creatinine clearance rates (p=0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that sepsis enhanced the risk of acquiring AKI (OR: 60.50, 95% CI: 26.03-169.88). Neonates in distress, and on ventilator had a higher risk of having AKI (OR: 13.88, 95% CI: 1.26-152.91) and (OR: 20.77, 95% CI: 1.1-390.49) respectively. Conclusion: The prevalence of AKI among neonates admitted in NICU was 8.9%. Fetal distress, sepsis and mechanical ventilation were significantly associated with AKI.

Poultry farming was started mainly to get additional income by a large number of farmers (84 per cent) and only eight per cent took up poultry for self-employment. Tho average time lag for the adoption of poultry farming was found to be 2-3 years. Out of the seven improved practices, three practices viz., maintenance of improved strain, feeding with balanced feed or prophylactic vaccination were found adopted by all the farmers studied. The adoption of other practices was found to vary between 52 to 92 per cent. With regard to the extent of adoption of these practices. 42 per cent adopted all the 7 practices. 22 per cent adopted six practices and 16 per cent each adopted five and four practices. So majority of the poultry farmers is adopting six practices and above. Lake of knowledge about the practices was the main reason for nonadoption of practices like debooking, culling and control of endo and ecto-parasites.

Investigations were undertaken to study the effect of N and P on the flowering of chrysanthemum CV. Yellow. Earliness in respect of flower bud appearance, lower opening and the time taken for flowering were observed with the plants under increased N and P levels. The highest levels of nitrogen (100 Kg/ha) increased the yield of flowers. The weight of hundred flowers was significantly increased by 100 Kg/ha in each of N and P. The size (diameter) of the flower and stalk length were significantly increased in plants receiving the highest levels of N and P. The keeping quality of the flowers was not affected by N and P levels for the first 24 hours but spoilage was concomitant with increase in N level and increased with march of time.

The moisture regimes had a profound influence over the distribution of soil inor- ganic phosphorus and among the moisture regimes flooded condition was found to cause substantial effect on the reduction of ferric phosphate to ferrous form, hydrolysis of Al-P and release of occluded phosphates. Flooding had increased Fe-P. Al-P and dec-1 reased reductant soluble Fe-P. There was no change in Ca-P. Fe-P fraction as determined in airdried soils, in I and II stage samples, was found to correlate with the P uptake under flooded condition and it failed to produce any significant correlations in field capacity. The other fractions did not produce any significant correlation with P uptake under both the moisture conditions. This shows that Fe-P has played a key role in P availability in waterlogged soils.

The influence of varying levels of N. PO, and KO on the uptake of P by ragi at successive growth stages was investigated by a field experiment. The effect of N on P uptake was found only at 50th day of transplanting and its influence was not pronounced either at early stages or at maturity of the crop. The application of P did not influence the P uptake of ragi at 25th and 50th day of transplanting and also in the grain. But the uptake of P in straw was significantly influenced by P application. The influence of K on the uptake of P by ragi at different stages of growth was not pronounced.

The different size fractions of the experimental plots of the Old Permanent Manu- rial Experiments at Coimbatore were determined during 1922, 1929 and 1976. The data revealed that during 55 years of experimentation, the coarse sand fraction significantly reduced and clay fractions increased. Of the major nutrients N. P and K. nitrogen app- lication increased the clay content whereas others did not. The influence of nitrogen. might be mainly due to its content in the organic residues added to the soil. Coarse fraction was not influenced by the different treatments. Cattle manure application (5) tons/acre) was as good as NPK fertilization in maintaining the proportion of mechanical fractions.

The various hypotheses, of two factor theory of Job satisfaction were tested with 230 Deputy Agricultural Officers working in the Community Development Blocks of Tamil Nadu. The data point out that the job factors are unipolar variables and the satis- faction and dissatisfaction in these factors are not the opposite poles of the same feel- ing. However, the data did not support the variable independence among motivators and hygienes and their presumed unidirectional roles. Thus, the motivation-maintenance theory advocated has no generality. The study also indicated that among the Deputy Agricultural Officers, there is less satisfaction in job factors like promotion chances. independence in relation to the job and department policies and practices.

Non-preference and antibiosis components of resistance to the leat hopper. Amra- sca biguttula biguttula Ishida were studied in cotton H8 69 (Resistant). GS 23 (lolerant) in relation to the susceptible variety PRS 72. The results indicated the discriminating behaviour of leat hopper for the cotton varieties for feeding. The variety PRS 72 harboured as high as 30,96 nymphs/plant showing its greater susceptibility while GS 23 and HB 69 were less preferred with 18.88 and 10.32 nymphs/plant respectively indicating their relative resistance. The susceptible PRS 72 and tolerant GS 23 were more preferred for oviposi tion by recording a population of 27.04 and 17.88 nymphs per plant respectively as against only 10.68 in the case of resistant HB 69. The lower lamina of resistant HB 69 had a high density of hairs (97.80/Sq.cm) than the susceptible PRS 72 (8.11/Sq.cm). Resistant HB 69 showed less fecundity per leaf hopper (9.9 nymphs), long nymphal period (16.48 days) and less percentage of nymphs becoming adults (19.9%) compared to high fecundity (30.2 nymphs) high percentage of nymphs becoming adults (64.1%) and short nymphal period (9.36 days) in the susceptible PRS 72.

Cultivation of rice under different moisture levels warrants a revision of present mathod of soil analysis for phosphorus availability in various soils. In a greenhouse study three different groups of soils were utilised and IR 22 rice was grown under three moisture regimes viz., submergence at 5 cm depth, near field capacity and wetting and. drying. Soil samples were collected at the time of tillering, flowering and at harvest and analysed for available-P, using the following extractants (1) Olson's, (ii) Bray No.1. (ii) 0.01 M CaCl, and (iv) water. The initial soils were fractionated for various forms of P. Plant uptake of P was estimated after wet digestion and all these were correla- ted. Bray No. 1 extractant for red and black rice soils, while Olsens/Bray No. 1 for alluvial rice soils may form better indices of P availability.

Thirty cultivars of peppers were considered for estimation of simple. partial and multiple correlations for yield and yield components. Significant and positive correlations were found between yield and fruit size, plant height and negative with days to flower. The association of truir size was significant and positive with plant height and negative with days to flower. Partial correlation studies indicated that fruit size, plant height and dura- tion of availability of green fruits have more effect on fruit yield than the days to flower and capsaicin content.
