According to Article 5.3 of the Protocol establishing the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights (Ouagadougou Protocol), "The Court may permit individuals and non-governmental organizations having observer status with the Commission to file applications directly with it in accordance with Article 34(6) of this Protocol. Article 34(6) in turn makes the admissibility of such applications subject to the "declaration by the State accepting the competence of the Court to receive the applications set out in article 5.3 of this protocol. From the spirit of this provision, it gives to the States parties an automatic access to the Court, while it remains a barrier for the individuals to access to the international and or continental justice because until now, a very reduced number of the States parties to the charter has already made a similar declaration, that is to say 8 States out of 32 that have ratified the protocol In our opinion, to face this problem, the African system should be nourished by the experience of the European system of protection of the human rights which allows the individuals to seize it.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) aims to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. This stabilization requires a significant increase in the use of renewable energy technologies. In fact, the widespread application of these technologies is the best way to significantly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions over the next century while meeting some of the growing demand for commercial energy. As sustainable energies are inexhaustible and produce little waste, their use seems to be preferable for the sole purpose of fighting against ecological nuisances and environmental degradation. This being said, these energies require legal protection for the protection of the environment. Renewable energies can also be the basis and or source of a sustainable development by contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases and are seen as a solution to the ecological and social global crisis.

The Convention on Wetlands is the framework for international cooperation and national action for the conservation and wise use of wetlands (Ramsar Convention). Wetlands are a collective asset to be protected, hosting more than half of the world's biodiversity and playing a crucial role in the regeneration of water resources and the preservation of biodiversity. Sustainable development by 2030 depends on collective action, by all and for all.The use of the Ramsar Convention as an essential tool for the implementation of the SDGs, through the integration of the four objectives of the Ramsar strategic plan into the actions of all countries by 2030, is therefore almost essential.
