VICTIMS MUST BE IDENTIFIABLE

Dictum

Para. 18: “For an application of this nature to succeed, the victims must be identifiable, and the representatives must present a mandate from the said victims authorizing them to act on their behalf. Where it is impracticable to obtain a mandate, the representatives must give reasons why it is so impracticable.”

— Osaghae v Nigeria (2017) – ECW/CCJ/JUD/03/17
