In documents obtained by PREMIUM TIMES on Wednesday, the Cape Verdean Supreme Court upheld the appeal court’s decision insisting that ECOWAS Court’s decision was not binding on the country.
In a far-reaching decision on the applicability of the decisions handed down by the ECOWAS Court, the Supreme Court held that Cape Verde was not a signatory to the Protocol of 2005 establishing the regional court, adding that ECOWAS itself is not “a supranational organisation”. It added, “Therefore, as ECOWAS is not a supranational organisation for the time being, and the State of Cape Verde has not even signed the 2005 Protocol, there is no basis for it to be considered linked to such an instrument.”On the above grounds, the judges of Cape Verde’s Supreme Court, João Gon, Anildo Martins and Benfeito Ramos agreed to dismiss Mr Saab’s appeal and confirm the appeal court’s ruling rejecting ECOWAS Court’s decisions as not binding on the country.
“In approving the extradition, Cape Verde is destroying the entire global diplomatic order and the sanctity of diplomatic missions which has been established over several centuries,” he added.
