The African Court of Justice was originally intended to be the "principal judicial organ of the Union" (Protocol of the Court of Justice of the African Union, Article 2.2) with authority to rule on disputes over interpretation of AU treaties. A protocol to set up the Court of Justice〔()〕 was adopted in 2003, and entered into force in 2009. It was, however, superseded by a protocol creating the African Court of Justice and Human Rights, which will incorporate the already established African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights and have two chambers — one for general legal matters and one for rulings on the human rights treaties. The merger protocol〔()〕 was adopted in 2008. The united court will be based in Arusha, Tanzania. Arusha is a city in northern Tanzania and the capital of the Arusha Region. Since 1994, the city has hosted the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. According to the protocol and the Rules, the court may receive complaints or applications submitted to it either by the African Commission of Human and Peoples’ Rights or State parties to the Protocol of African Intergovernmental Organization. == Judges == The Court is composed of eleven judges, nationals of Member States of the African Union. The first Judges of Court were elected in January 200, in Khartoum, Sudan. They were sworn in before the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union on 2 July 2006, in Banjul, the Gambia. The judges are elected for a six year or four year term renewable once. The judges elect a President and Vice-President of the Court among themselves who serves a two year term. They can be re-elected only once. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「African Court of Justice」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
