Ghanaian Papal Knight, jurist Justice Sir Dennis Dominic Adjei celebrated for scholarly works

A Papal Knight and a Justice of the Supreme Court of Ghana, who is also a Judge of the African Court of Human and Peoples’ Rights based in Arusha Tanzania, Justice Sir Dennis Dominic Adjei has been applauded for his intellectual brilliance, as well as his continuous and impactful scholarly works that span varied areas of law and which have both domestic and international appeal.

At the official launch of Justice Adjei’s latest book on International Human and Peoples’ Rights, Law and Practice, at the Auditorium of the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences (GAAS) in Accra, the Chairman for the occasion, who is a former Speaker of Parliament; Right Rev. Prof. Mike Aaron Oquaye, praised the Eminent Ghanaian Jurist for his constant commitment to keeping his professional publications current and relevant to the needs of the ever-evolving global legal landscape.

…the writer is a distinguished scholar and voluminous writer of scholastic guidance. And one thing that he continues to do is make his publications current. Sometimes it is difficult to read a law book, because you find that an authority cited has been overruled by a recent case. So, Sir, I really appreciate your keen interest in characterising your works,” Prof. Oquaye echoed.

The monumental 968-page new scholarly work of the renowned Judge has 20 Chapters, covering the diverse and complex nature of human rights law. Reviewing the book titled: International Human and Peoples’ Rights, Law and Practice, Lawyer and Journalist Samson Lardi Ayenini, described its structure as not merely academic, but strategic, because it allows readers to navigate the ‘global human rights landscape with precision and comparative insight.” And therefore, recommended it as a civic resource.

‘My Lord’s book is more than a legal text; it is a civic resource. It is designed to serve judges, commissioners, lecturers, students, NGOs, and civil society actors. It is also a tool for public education and policy reform. As someone deeply invested in legal literacy and governance reform, I find this book to be a strategic ally. It fills a critical gap in Ghanaian and African civic education, and it offers a global lens that is both rigorous and relatable.’

The President of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, Justice Imani D. Aboud, confirms in the Foreword of his colleague Justice Dennis Adjei’s book, that the scholarly work “… delivers a panoramic view of the human rights architecture, leaving no stone unturned”.
