Senegal Football Federation Confident in Favorable TAS Ruling

Legally, Senegal's Constitution guarantees a wide array of human rights, and the country is a signatory to numerous international human rights instruments, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. These instruments, alongside national laws governing police powers, use of force, and detention, form the bedrock of the legal context within which the police operate. The Senegalese judicial system, encompassing criminal courts for prosecuting offenses and administrative courts for challenging state actions, provides avenues for redress in cases of alleged human rights violations by state agents. The key parties involved are the Minister of Interior and Public Security, the Senegalese police forces, and the citizens they are mandated to protect.
