Abstract

The judiciary is the competent supervising authority to ensure that the administration complies with the powers conferred upon it by the legislator under the law and in such a manner as to ensure the protection of the rights of individuals guaranteed under the Constitution and the law from any abuse like abuse of power or deviation. When such a mechanism is in place, it will ensure that individuals are guaranteed their rights and freedoms, this will also make those who own and issue administrative decisions get committed to observe the law, demonstrating their competence in the conduct of the Authority’s work and its commitment to the law. On this basis, every State must give its judicial power a force to achieve this purpose but often a flaw in the structure of States sometimes leads to the violation of the rights and freedoms of individuals, and they can only resort to the regional and national courts to protect their rights.
