Outcome

Compliance hearing adjourned to allow Respondent State to file implementation report

Facts

The African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights filed an application against Kenya on 12 July 2012. The Court issued decisions on merits and reparations, with the reparations judgment delivered on 23 June 2022. On 12 November 2024, the Court convened a public compliance hearing under Rule 81 of the Rules. At the hearing, Kenya requested adjournment for at least three months to file a report on compliance steps, citing government changes as the reason for delay. The Commission opposed, noting Kenya had received notice on 14 August 2024 and that evictions of the Ogiek in Mau Forest continued despite the Court's decisions. The Commission requested costs if adjournment was granted.

Issues

  1. Whether the Court should adjourn the compliance hearing to allow the Respondent State to file a report on implementation of the Court's decisions.
  2. Whether costs of the Applicant's attendance should be borne by the Respondent State.

Orders

  • Respondent State granted 90 days from 12 November 2024 to file report on implementation steps, to be filed no later than 11 February 2025.
  • Question of continuing eviction of the Ogiek in the Mau Forest to be determined at hearing to be scheduled by the Court.
  • Determination on costs reserved.
  • Hearing adjourned sine die.
