East African Court of Justice Annual Report 2021- 2022

Abstract

The East African Court of Justice (EACJ) is an organ of the EAC which was inaugurated in November 2001 as the judicial arm of the EAC. Since its inception, the Court has made commendable progress in realizing its mandate. It has contributed to the EAC integration process by settling disputes. In this way, it has guided the integration process and contributed to the development of regional jurisprudence. However, it still operates on an ad-hoc basis due to the nature of the services of the judges.
