In order to be the special guest of honor at the formal launch of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights’ 2026 judicial year on Monday, President John Dramani Mahama has arrived in Arusha, Tanzania.

The court’s 20th anniversary festivities, which will emphasize two decades of promoting human and peoples’ rights throughout the African continent, will also be inaugurated at the ceremony.

This is the first time a sitting President of Ghana has been invited to speak at the AU Court, according to the presidency, which is a watershed moment that highlights the nation’s dedication to advancing human rights and justice throughout Africa.

President Mahama is expected to give a keynote speech during his trip, in which he will discuss the court’s accomplishments, Ghana’s role in continental human rights efforts, and the persistent difficulties in ensuring justice throughout Africa.
