LCP4807 SEMESTER II 2025 ASSIGNMENT 02 ASSIGNMENT 02 Submission Due Date: Thursday, 18 September 2025 (Cut-off Time: 23h00) The Republic of Kamarara is an African country with a constitution that includes the Bill of Rights, and it was adopted in 1990. Kamarara has ratified the major United Nations (UN) human rights instruments such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) (including its two Optional Protocols). On 16 May 2015, a pregnant woman was raped and murdered near Mazara village in the Republic of Kamarara. Mr Mbhekwe was accused of committing the crime and brought to trial. He denied the offence. On 15 June 2017 the High Court in Kamarara convicted him of the crime of murder and sentenced him to death, the only sentence available for the offence of murder under the Kamarara penal law. According to Section 14 of the Criminal and Other Offences Act 15 of 1939 of Kamarara “a person convicted of murder is liable to suffer death.” Mr Mbhekwe claims that the death sentence as provided for in the Criminal and Other Offences Act is unconstitutional and violates a number of human rights as provided for in the Constitution of Kamarara as well as international human rights instruments that Kamarara has ratified. He then appealed to the Supreme Court of Appeal and challenged the conviction and sentence. On 15 May 2018, the Supreme Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal both on the conviction and the sentence.

Legal Opinion for the Movement Against Death Penalty (MADP)

Re: Human Rights Committee (HRC) Action on Behalf of Mr. Mbhekwe Under the
ICCPR and Its Optional Protocols

I. Introduction

This legal opinion analyzes whether the Movement Against Death Penalty (MADP),
representing Mr. Mbhekwe, can bring an individual communication before the United
Nations Human Rights Committee (HRC) under the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights (ICCPR) and its Optional Protocols. It considers (a) procedural
admissibility, (b) substantive merits regarding the alleged human rights violations, and
(c) available remedies.




II. Procedural Issues
A. Jurisdiction under the First Optional Protocol (OP1-ICCPR)

The ICCPR, adopted in 1966, obliges States to respect civil and political rights including
the right to life, fair trial, and protection against torture (United Nations, 1966a).
However, the ICCPR alone does not provide for individual petitions. Jurisdiction for
individual communications is established only if the State Party has ratified the First
Optional Protocol (OP1-ICCPR), which entered into force in 1976 and, as of mid-2024,
had 116 State Parties (United Nations, 1966b; Wikipedia, 2025). Under Article 1 of OP1,
the HRC may receive complaints from individuals claiming violations of ICCPR rights
(Wikipedia, 2025). If Kamarara has not ratified OP1, the Committee would lack
competence, rendering any complaint inadmissible.
