Gambia’s Path to Accountability: ECOWAS Establishes Special Court for Human Rights Abuses

The people of Gambia have been waiting for justice for a long time. Now, they are one step closer. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has given the go-ahead for a special court to try crimes committed during the brutal rule of former dictator Yahya Jammeh. For 22 years, Jammeh’s regime was marked by horrific human rights abuses. People were arrested without reason, tortured, and even killed. The scars of those years still linger, and many Gambians are still seeking justice. The new court is a major breakthrough. It will give victims and their families a chance to share their stories and seek justice. It will also send a strong message to anyone who thinks they can get away with human rights abuses. This is a new era for justice in Gambia. It is a reminder that justice can be slow, but it is always possible. And it is a testament to the power of perseverance and the human spirit.
