ECOWAS Court rulings: Media called to drive regional...
原文原文 / Original TextThe president of the Community Court of Justice, ECOWAS, Hon. Justice Ricardo Claudio Monteiro Gonçalves, has called on regional journalists to influence Member States to implement the Court’s rulings through their reportage.
He made the call while delivering his address at the opening ceremony of a three-day training workshop for journalists from ECOWAS Member States.
The training, which started on Wednesday, is expected to end on Friday at the Seat of the Court in Abuja, Nigeria.
“Let me also urge you to use your media platforms to engage Member States on the need to faithfully implement the decisions of the Court in accordance with their treaty obligations.
“The judgment enforcement mechanism of the Court gives the Member States the responsibility of enforcing the judgments of the Court, which at the moment is below expectation,” he said.
Speaking about the training, he lamented that public understanding of the Court’s mandate, proccsses, proccdurcs and the impact of its judgments on the people and region remains limited, due to gaps in journalists’ reportage on the Court.
While noting that journalists occupy an important position in communicating the work of courts to the public, he, however, said journalists must have a clear understanding of the Court’s mandate, its jurisdiction, composition, and structure to report its activities accurately.
“This training is, therefore, very important for the Community Court of Justice”, he said, adding that the overall objective was to create an effective network of journalists across the ECOWAS region regularly reporting on the Court to increase visibility.
