The efficiency with which Professor Horace Adjolohoun ensured the effective and successful launch of the African Yearbook of Human Rights is impressive. In the African context, this is a real achievement of scientific coordination. It augurs well for the contribution of the initiative in which he is participating to the dissemination and enrichment of legal knowledge in and about Africa. May the initiator receive our encouragement.

The launch of this blog speaks to a momentum. This space allows Professor Horace Adjolohoun to present, in a standardized form, his already abundant production, of a remarkable scientific substance, on constitutional law, political governance and human rights. As one can see, Professor Adjolohoun's work is all the more worthy of interest as it is the result of a long experience acquired from his double pedigree as an academic and a practitioner. This blog is also a space. For its author, it is all about contributing to the making of knowledge about Africa and in Africa on main challenges that the continent grapples with every day. As such, it is a forum for exchange and a platform for proposals of innovative solutions in response to the political demand addressed to researchers on the continent.-

I had the pleasure of knowing Horace Adjolohoun at the Registry of the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights during my second term as a judge. I was able to appreciate his human and professional qualities during the assistance he gave me in drafting certain judicial decisions and in our discussions on issues of international law related or not to the cases before the Court. In the course of our discussions, but also in reading his capacity bulding and thematic studies prepared for the Court's use, I was greatly impressed by his fine legal culture, his great intellectual curiosity as well as his solid thinking, analytical and drafting skills. >Horace Adjolohoun has accumulated a wealth of theoretical and practical experience in the field of international human rights law (UN and African Union law in particular) and, as a result, I warmly welcome his initiative to launch a blog on justice in Africa. I wish this initiative full success.

Horace Adjolohoun uniquely combines practice and research. His notable capacity bulding on the jurisdictionalisation of African law and in the field of comparative constitutional law remarkably evidence his mastery of the subjects. His proven knowledge of international and constitutional law, as well as his understanding of African political and social reality, make him a leading observer of related trends in Africa. There is no doubt that the launch of his blog - one more initiative demonstrating his dynamism - will provide an enlightened deciphering of the practice of law in Africa. I wish long life to this initiative which, I am sure, will meet a deserved success.
