The Judiciary of Rwanda

The Supreme Court is the highest ranking court of the country, placed under its Chief Justice’s authority. Currently, the Chief Justice is Dr. Faustin NTEZILYAYO.

The essential mission of the Supreme Court is to ensure equitable law enforcement according to the logic of complementarity of powers in a democratic society. The Judicial Power cannot therefore be considered like an entity which is separate from social life of which it is the regulator.

In an effort to achieve these objectives, the role of our jurisdictions, notably the Supreme Court, is not less important. We are convinced that non corrupt justice which is fast and effective constitutes a solution to the most pressing challenges to the people of Rwanda. It is each one of our judges’ duty.
