CfP: “Evidence Matters Before Regional Human Rights Courts: The African Court in Critical and Comparative Perspective” (Pretoria, 11–13 May 2026) Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, this Conference investigates a key but understudied element of international human rights judicial proceedings – evidence. How is the factual basis of a human rights claim (to be) evidenced? Which party benefits when facts remain uncertain? Can the evidentiary inequality of arms between the parties be redressed? Is the purpose of evidence to find the truth – and if so, which truth? Although the Conference focuses on the African Court, we are also interested in studies which address the broader sphere of international human rights adjudication, including the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, the European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the UN Human Rights Treaty Bodies. Organising Committee: Marie-Bénédicte Dembour, Cornelia Klocker and Vera Wriedt (at Ghent University); Frans Viljoen and Mumbi Gichuhi (at the University of Pretoria).
