From February 13 to 16, 2023, a workshop was held at Djamiyah “Maison blanche” hotel in Coyah to discuss procedures before the Supreme Courts of Guinea and Senegal.
The work began with a welcome from the Mayor of Coyah who discussed the transitional context in which this workshop is being held as well as the challenges facing justice actors.
The Prefect of Coyah, for his part, recalled the various missions of justice, and the need to raise greater awareness among populations to promote respect for laws and regulations. He also praised the sovereign role played by the chancellery in the public service sector of justice.
In their speeches, the President of the Court of First Instance of Coyah as well as the First Advocate General, representative of the Attorney General at the Supreme Court of Guinea, delivered a word of welcome to the Senegalese delegation and other participants. For his part, Abdoulaye Ndiaye, President of the Administrative Chamber of the Supreme Court of Senegal, expressed, in his own name and on behalf of the delegation he leads, his gratitude for the welcome he received. He also returned to the collaboration that he hopes will be fruitful between the Supreme Court of Senegal and that of Guinea. He also recalled the jurisdictional powers of the two High Courts in all their aspects. He also reaffirmed the commitment of the Supreme Court of Senegal to spare no effort to strengthen this dynamic of cooperation and collaboration between the two High Judicial Authorities.
In his speech, the First President of the Supreme Court of Guinea returned to the beginnings of this cooperation but also to the chosen themes whose relevance is beyond doubt and hopes that at the end of this workshop exchanges, magistrates will strengthen their capacities in terms of cassation techniques and appeals for excess of power.
Following him, the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice and Human Rights delivered a word of welcome to the participants and reminded that this workshop comes at the right time in a context where there is a real need to strengthen the capacities of magistrates and heads of registry in the administration of my justice. He thus returned to the powers devolved to the Supreme Court of the Republic of Guinea by the organic law. He also insisted on the need to set up a platform which will be a space for continuous exchange between Guinean and Senegalese magistrates. He also magnified the cooperative relations between the two countries. It was with these words that he declared the workshop open. Mamadou Dramé, Secretary General of the Supreme Court of Guinea, presented the objectives of this workshop which, according to him, should, ultimately, ensure better management of cassation techniques by reviewing certain articles of the organic law on the Supreme Court. He also returned to the agenda of the workshop which will make it possible to identify the problems inherent in the procedures before the Supreme Court and the mechanisms for processing cases, the independence of the judiciary, the missions, the attributions, the jurisprudence of the Superior Council of the Judiciary, the role of the registry, the role and missions of the Documentation and Studies Service.
Making the presentation of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Guinea, Mr. Dramé looked back on the evolution of the country since the start of independence. In his opinion, the Court was successively called the Superior Court of Cassation, the Supreme Court, then in 1986 the National Chamber of Annulment and today the name of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Guinea. The composition, organization, missions and powers of the said Court are recalled as provided for by organic law L/2017 No. 0003/AN of February 23, 2017 of the Supreme Court....
