Br�ve Description du Business / Organisation :

In Rwanda, The Supreme Court is the highest ranking court of the country, placed under its President�s authority, the essential mission of the Supreme Court is to ensure equitable law enforcement according to the logic of complementarity of powers in a democratic society.

The Judicial Power cannot therefore be considered like an entity which is separate from social life of which it is the regulator. Is it not obvious that the reconstruction of our society, which has been so much weakened by genocide and the 1994 massacres, supposes that we appeal to our institutions for the return to the core values notably the democratic exercise of the power, the respect of human rights, the eradication of the culture of impunity as well as poverty reduction?

In an effort to achieve these objectives, the role of our jurisdictions, notably the Supreme Court, is not less important. We are convinced that non corrupt justice, which is fast and effective constitutes a solution to the most pressing challenges to the people of Rwanda: it is each one of our judges� duty. .
