halidou

On Halidou Ouédraogo, the magistrate turned lawyer, there is a rich and abundant ＂ literature＂ . Indeed, and to borrow the terms of the famous teacher-researcher in law at the University Thomas Sankara, Luc Marius Ibriga, ＂ Master Halidou Ouédraogo, constitutes a reference point and he must continue to give us this example of courage and commitment. What he has done and continues to do is not lost because it is a profound action, an action of awareness of the youth in relation to the acceptance of what the commitment can have as a consequence, but which allows you to realize yourself as a human being.Affectionately called ＂ the Redhead or the albino ＂, he presided over the destiny of the judiciary in Upper Volta, now Burkina Faso. Throughout his career as a magistrate and lawyer, he led a noble struggle in the line of the defense, protection and promotion of human rights.Endowed with a free and independent spirit, Halidou Ouédraogo feels he has been entrusted with a divine mission: ＂to be useful to his people... to all peoples who struggle for their freedom and dignity＂ . This is why he always puts ＂ human rights ＂ at the heart of his actions.
