Marie Thérèse Mukamulisa

Marie Thérèse Mukamulisa (born 29 June 1965) is a Rwandan jurist who was appointed to a six-year term on the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights in 2016.

Early life and education Mukamulisa was born in Kigali on 29 June 1965. She has a degree in civil law from the University of Rwanda (1990) and a master's degree in common law from the University of Moncton in New Brunswick, Canada (1993). In 2015, she became a member of the High Judicial Council of Rwanda. She is also a member of the International Hague Network of Judges. Her appointment has since been criticised due to Rwanda's decision to withdraw from allowing individuals and NGOs to appeal directly to the court, and to Mukamulisa's involvement on the panel of judges who sentenced opposition politician Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, who appealed to the African Court.

Personal life Mukamulisa is married and has two sons.
