Katangese Peoples' Congress v Zaire, Communication 75/92

African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights · ACHPR (1995)

tlte-cite:katanga-achpr-1995

Editorial gloss

Applying Article 20 of the Banjul Charter, the ACHPR held that the Katangese claim to secession failed because the complainant had not shown that meaningful internal self-determination was unavailable. Symmetric to Quebec §135: external self-determination is conditional on the failure of the internal route. Read against AU Constitutive Act Art 4(b) uti possidetis.
