The Extraordinary African Chambers (French: Chambres Africaines Extraordinaires, CAE) is a tribunal established under an agreement between the African Union and Senegal[1] to try international crimes committed in Chad from 7 June 1982 to 1 December 1990. This period corresponds to the regime of former Chadian President Hissène Habré.[2] The Extraordinary African Chambers were opened 8 February 2013 in Dakar, Senegal. The magistrate Ciré Aly Bâ is the current administrator of the Extraordinary African Chambers in the Senegalese courts.[3]
