Abstract :This paper traces the long journey of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights to acceptance as a regional judicial organ. Although its promising establishment, aiming for a concretization of Pan-Africanism visions and objectives within the continent, the institutional and operational side of the court seems to be lagging behind. The paper argues that the Court’s genesis had come under increased pressure which affected its design and its functioning. It traces the arduous process of drafting the Court’s founding documents, the Protocol of Ouagadougou, focusing on the political pressures and resistance from states that influenced its creation. The study also examines how this pressure was intensified by the increasing emergence of other courts and tribunals alongside the African Court, limiting therefore the Court\\\'s visibility and hindering its development.Keywords : Protocol of Ouagadougou, Article 34(6), afrika insan hakları mahkemesi
