education.151 Both should be guaranteed to Nubian children on equal terms with children in comparable communities. Finally, the African Committee explained that when assessing the consequences of the nonrecognition of the nationality of children of Nubian descent, the widespread and systematic denial of the right of nationality over several generations, calls for actions that address the long-term effects of this past practice.152 In sum, case law in Africa resonates with that in the Americas. African bodies entrusted with ensuring State compliance with human rights have emphasized that each human right (including nationality, identity, and non-discrimination) creates obligations on the part of the State to respect, protect and fulfill. Hence, the consequential violations of the rights to nationality and/or non-discrimination are very much part of the case law analysis. This is a worthy application of the principle of indivisibility of rights according to which discriminatory treatment and/or denial of nationality impacts on the enjoyment of other human rights, often with harmful effects. Thus, the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights has held States accountable to provide reparation for the harm caused by the arbitrary deprivation of nationality in the context of systematic violations of human rights, ethnic discrimination and forced expulsion. It considers that whilst the recognition of the right to return in safety must be welcome, it is not enough to annul the violation committed by the State. Diligent measures should include amongst others, the issuance of new ID documents and the restitution of the belongings looted from them after they were expelled, compensation for the damage sustained, and the reinstatement of the rights to work. The African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child too assesses both the act of denial of nationality and the consequences of the act. Thus, it found the denial of citizenship of Nubian children to violate the right to nationality, the right to a name, protection against non-discrimination and protection against statelessness. It then considered the consequences of the non-recognition of the nationality of children of Nubian descent, by reference to the widespread and systematic denial right of nationality over several generations, and held that the principle of non-discrimination requires the children affected to be recognized their essential socio-economic rights (i.e., health and education), on equal terms with children in comparable communities. 3.3 The European Court of Human Rights The 1950 European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), like the African Charter on Human Rights, does not include an explicit provision on nationality. However, the Council referring to two judgments of the African Commission on Article 16 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights: Purohit and Moore v The Gambia, Communication 241/2001; and Free Legal Assistance Group and Others v Zaire, Communications No 25/89,47/90, 56/91, 100/93. 151 Article 13, African Children Charter, also interpreted widely to include access to free (and compulsory) basic education in schools, with qualified teachers and necessary equipment.
