Côte d'Ivoire's current constitution was adopted in October 2016. La dernière Constitution de Côte d'Ivoire fut adoptée en octobre 2016.
Côte d'Ivoire
Côte d'Ivoire became independent from France on 7 August 1960. The country prospered but in December 1999 a military coup overthrew the government, and rigged elections in 2000 saw coup leader Robert Guei come to power.
Popular protest forced Guei to step aside and brought Laurent Gbagbo to power. A failed coup attempt in September 2002 saw rebel forces claiming the northern half of the country. In January 2003 rebels were granted ministerial positions in a unity government under the auspices of the Linas-Marcoussis Peace Accord.
In March 2007 President Gbagbo and former New Force rebel leader Guillaume Soro signed the Ouagadougou Political Agreement to reunite the country, integrate rebel forces into the national armed forces, and hold elections.
On 28 November 2010, Alassane Ouattara won the presidential election, but President Gbagbo refused to hand over power. In April 2011 Gbagbo was formally forced from office by Ouattara supporters with the support of UN and French forces.
Gbagbo (along with Blé Goudé) is on trial before the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. His wife, Simone Gbagbo, is on trial before the Ivorian courts, also for crimes against humanity, but the trial has been criticised by some as not complying with the principles of a fair trial.
Ouattara was peacefully re-elected in October 2015.
Côte d'Ivoire has a civil law system based on the French civil code.
Côte d'Ivoire has a constitution dating from 2016.
The next general elections in the country are due to take place in 2020.
ACJR is collaborating with several local civil society organisations, in particular with ACAT-Côte d'Ivoire, with the aim to reinforce local capacity in identifying, analysing and remedying challenges within the the criminal justice system.
La Côte d'Ivoire acquit son indépendance de la France le 7 août 1960. Depuis, le pays a prospéré mais en décembre 1999, un coup d'Etat militaire renversa le gouvernement et les élections truquées de 2000 virent le putschiste Robert Gueï accéder au pouvoir.
La protestation populaire força Gueï à se retirer et à céder le pouvoir à Laurent Gbagbo. Une tentative de coup d'Etat manqué en Septembre 2002 vit les forces rebelles réclamer la moitié Nord du pays. En janvier 2003, les rebelles obtinrent des postes ministériels dans un gouvernement d'union nationale sous les auspices de l'Accord de paix de Linas-Marcoussis.
En Mars 2007, le Président Gbagbo et l'ancien chef rebelle des Forces Nouvelles, Guillaume Soro, signèrent l'Accord politique de Ouagadougou dans lequel ils s’engageaient à réunifier le pays ; à intégrer les forces rebelles au sein des forces armées nationales, et à tenir des élections.
Le 28 Novembre 2010, Alassane Ouattara remporta l'élection présidentielle, mais le président Gbagbo refusa de céder le pouvoir. En Avril 2011, Gbagbo fut officiellement chassé du pouvoir par les partisans de Ouattara soutenus par les forces onusiennes et françaises.
Gbagbo (ainsi que Blé Goudé) est jugé devant la Cour pénale internationale pour crimes contre l'humanité. Sa femme, Simone Gbagbo, est jugée devant les tribunaux ivoiriens, également pour crimes contre l'humanité, mais le procès a été critiqué par certains comme ne respectant pas les principes du procès équitable.
Ouattara a été réélu pacifiquement en octobre 2015.
Le système judiciaire ivoirien est un système de droit civil, basé sur le code civil français. La Constitution date de 2016.
Les prochaines élections générales dans le pays auront lieu en 2020.
L'ACJR collabore avec plusieurs organisations locales de la société civile, en particulier avec l'ACAT-Côte d'Ivoire, dans le but de renforcer les capacités locales pour identifier, analyser et remédier aux défis auxquelles la chaîne pénale fait face.
A Costa do Marfim tornou-se independente da França em 7 de Agosto de 1960. O país prosperou, mas em Dezembro de 1999, um golpe militar derrubou o governo, e eleições fraudulentas em 2000 viram o líder golpista Robert Guei chegar ao poder.
Protestos populares forçaram Guei a abandonar o poder com a substituição de Laurent Gbagbo saiu. A fracassada tentativa de golpe em Setembro de 2002 viu as forças rebeldes reivindicar a metade norte do país. Em Janeiro de 2003, os rebeldes receberam posições ministeriais num governo de unidade sob os auspícios do Acordo de Paz Linas-Marcoussis.
Em Março de 2007, o Presidente Gbagbo e o ex-líder do grupo rebelde das Forças Novas, Guillaume Soro, assinaram o Acordo Político de Ouagadougou para reunificar o país, integrar as forças rebeldes nas forças armadas nacionais, e realizar eleições.
Em 28 de Novembro de 2010, Alassane Ouattara venceu as eleições presidenciais, mas o presidente Gbagbo se recusou a entregar o poder. Em Abril de 2011 Gbagbo foi formalmente forçado a abandonar o cargo por partidários de Ouattara, com o apoio das forças das NU e francesas. Vários milhares de soldados das NU e várias centenas de franceses permanecem na Costa de Marfim para apoiar o processo de transição.
Gbagbo (juntamente com Blé Goudé) está sendo julgado perante o Tribunal Penal Internacional por crimes contra a humanidade. Sua esposa, Simone Gbagbo, está sendo julgada pelos tribunais da Costa do Marfim, também por crimes contra a humanidade, mas o julgamento foi criticado por alguns como não cumprindo os princípios de um julgamento justo.
Ouattara foi pacificamente reeleito em outubro de 2015.
A Costa do Marfim tem sistema de direito civil com base no código civil francês.
