Promoting the Ability of African Judiciaries to Implement Constitutional Environmental Protections
ELI staff participated in the Global Judges Symposium on Sustainable Development and the Role of Law, held in Johannesburg, South Africa on August 18-20, 2002. This event, which was sponsored by the United Nations Environment Programme and ELI, among others, involved more than 120 Supreme Court Justices from 59 nations, making it the largest-ever gathering of its kind. ELI supported the participation of judges from Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, and Uganda. During the Symposium, ELI staff disseminated research aimed at improving the implementation of African constitutional provisions ensuring people’s rights to health, to a healthy environment, and to participate in decisions that affect them.
