In a significant move to close the enforcement gap between regional court rulings and national actions, the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice has convened its first-ever meeting of Competent National Authorities in Lagos.
The two-day summit brings together legal and governmental representatives from across West Africa, marking a historic step toward ensuring that decisions issued by the Court are both respected and effectively implemented within member states. The initiative underscores a renewed commitment to regional justice, rule of law, and accountability.
