Desde febrero de 2003, tras el inicio de un conflicto armado en la región de Darfur del Sudán, miembros de la milicia llamada Janjaweed se dieron a la tarea de desalojar por la fuerza, matar y violar a miles de indígenas negros de la región. Los peticionantes adujeron que tales actos constituían la omisión del gobierno de Sudán de respetar y proteger los derechos del pueblo de Darfur y, en particular, violaban los artículos 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12 (1), 14, 16, 18 (1) y 22 de la Carta Africana de Derechos Humanos y de los Pueblos.

Since February 2003, following the emergence of an armed conflict in the Darfur region of the Sudan, militiamen known as Janjaweed have engaged in forcibly evicting, killing, and raping thousands of Black indigenous people in that region.  The complainants alleged these acts were a failure of the government of Sudan to respect and protect the rights of the people of Darfur and in particular violated articles 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12 (1), 14, 16, 18 (1) and 22 of the African Charter on Human and People's Rights.  In affirming admissibility of the complaint, the Commission quoted its decisi

Esta acción de clase fue iniciada en nombre de los niños de un distrito escolar con una tasa del impuesto a la propiedad relativamente baja y de los cuales el 98% eran niños de ascendencia mexicana. Los peticionantes cuestionaron el hecho de que el Estado de Texas se valga de los impuestos a la propiedad para financiar sus escuelas, lo que significaba que los alumnos de los distritos más pobres recibían solamente dos tercios de los fondos que recibían los alumnos de los distritos más ricos.

This was a class action brought on behalf of children residing in a school district with a comparatively low property tax base - 98% of whom were Mexican-American. The plaintiffs challenged the reliance of the State of Texas on local property taxes to finance schools, which meant that students in poorer districts received only two-thirds of the amount students received in the wealthier districts.

En SERAP c./ Nigeria, la Corte de ECOWAS[1] consideró si tenía jurisdicción para decidir sobre una demanda relacionada con el derecho a la educación bajo la Carta Africana, aunque dicho derecho tal vez no fuera justiciable según el derecho nacional constitucional o estatutario.

In SERAP v. Nigeria, the ECOWAS Court[1] considered whether it had the jurisdiction to adjudicate a claim involving the right to education under the African Charter, even if such a right was arguably non-justiciable in domestic constitutional or statutory law. The complainant initiated the case due to lack of adequate implementation of Nigeria's Basic Education Act and Child's Rights Act of 2004.

En el sistema SSPA en Hong Kong, los niños son evaluados y ubicados en las escuelas secundarias correspondientes sobre la base del puntaje obtenido en una Evaluación Interna (EI) y una Prueba de Aptitud Académica (PAA). Sin embargo, los puntajes de la EI y la PAA eran evaluados y analizados en base al sexo, en particular porque las niñas solían tener un mejor desempeño en la porción de la Evaluación Interna y los varones en la Prueba de Aptitud Académica.

Under the SSPA system in Hong Kong, children are evaluated and placed into corresponding secondary schools based upon an Internal Assessment (IA) and an Academic Aptitude Test (AAT). placed into secondary schools based on those scores.  However, the IA and AAT scores were evaluated and analyzed based on sex, particularly because girls typically scored higher on the Internal Assessment portion and boys faired better on the Academic Aptitude standardized test.

This petition was brought to challenge the constitutionality of imposing a "capitation fee" (a fee based on the number of persons to whom a service is provided, rather than the actual cost of providing a service) on those people who wanted to enter a private medical school and were not admitted to the "government seats". These seats are reserved by the Government of India for members of communities that are explicitly recognized by the Indian Constitution as requiring support to overcome historic discrimination, or other groups designated by the government.

The claims brought by four NGOs against former Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo) alleging a gross mismanagement of public finances by the government leading to degrading conditions, shortages of medicine, education and basic services. The government allegedly failed to provide these services impairing its people from obtaining adequate medical treatment and from accessing basic education.
