Questo articolo esamina la storica sentenza della Corte di Giustizia della CEDEAO nel caso Obianuju Udeh & altri c. Repubblica della Nigeria, che ha ritenuto il governo nigeriano responsabile di violazioni dei diritti umani durante le proteste #EndSARS del 2020. La Corte ha stabilito che la Nigeria ha violato disposizioni fondamentali della Carta Africana dei Diritti dell'Uomo e dei Popoli, tra cui il diritto a non essere sottoposti a trattamenti inumani e degradanti, diritto alla sicurezza, alla libertà di espressione e di assemblea. L’analisi approfondisce le riparazioni assegnate alle vittime, sottolineando l’importanza della responsabilità statale e l’urgenza di riforme sistemiche per prevenire future violazioni, contribuendo così al rafforzamento del quadro regionale di tutela dei diritti umani.
