Abstract

International courts (ICs) like any other institution evolve over time. They constantly evolve responding to socio-political dynamics. The East African Court of Justice (EACJ) 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 article 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 article also examines the practice of the EACJ to show its evolution over time.
