This week, I obtained a Certificate in Advanced Human Rights Course on Business and Human Rights in Africa from my alma mater, the University of Pretoria, making it my 6th Certificate in Advanced Human Rights Course.

Always grateful to the Centre for Human Rights.

This new shift in the SPLM’s internal politics presents a renewed hope for the country. Congratulations to Dr. Benjamin Bol Mel on being appointed as the First Deputy Chairman of the SPLM.

Way forward.

As the law dictates, the Panel cannot sit to hear a Constitutional matter when the Justices are less than 9.

The second thing the Chief Justice did is making the Judiciary dysfunctional by creating poor working conditions and nobody cares kind of administration.

[Akot Makur Chuot @akot_chuot]

The first thing Chief Justice Chan succeeded in conniving with the Executive is detoothing the Constitution Panel. Currently, there are less than 7 Justices for the Constitutional Panel.

We shall overcome.

The A Court ( Executive Chief’s court) in my Boma is more efficient than the Statutory courts under the administration of Chief Justice Chan Reec. Many cases die in the statutory court for that matter, thus discouraging the culture of litigation.

A great day to be part of the launching of the Commentary on the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child by the Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria. The Commentary is an essential tool for lawyers, academics, activists among others.

A memorable visit to the historic Robben Island, a former notorious prison for brutal mistreatment of prisoners, which has now become a symbol of reconciliation for South Africa and a face of tourism.

It was humbling yet interactive and informative experience listening to practical concerns of the communities about adverse impacts of climate

[Akot Makur Chuot @akot_chuot]

Yesterday, on behalf of the Dullah Omar Institute, I had the honour to present on children’s rights and climate in a community leaders training program that brought together diverse leaders from the Western Cape Province.

[Akot Makur Chuot @akot_chuot]

The discussion critically highlighted the impacts of climate change on children and the communities.
change.

If the National Legislature passes it by two-thirds majority of all members present, the signature of the President will not be required again. ( Art 85(3) of the Constitution). Technically, the freedom of expression is shut down in South Sudan.

[Akot Makur Chuot @akot_chuot]

Today in history, the National Security Bill which gives the National Security to arrest without arrest warrant is by default signed into law because the President failed to act on it within 30 days ( Art 85(2) of the Constitution).

Engage with my latest article on children’s right to education.

I argue that education in South Sudan is not inclusive for children with disabilities. This is justified by the lack of assistive devices, ramps, among others.

In 2021, our team End Examination Malpractice Now staged a fiercest fight against malpractice in South Sudan. I was exiled, and other members intimidated, arrested and threatened.

It paid off today. The pass rate dropped from 95.3% in 2022 to 59% this year—commendable.
