The Grand Chancellery of the Orders of Burkina welcomed students from the International Institute of Management as part of the promotion of the different symbols of the State and honorary distinctions, on Wednesday March 6, 2024 in Ouagadougou.
‘By coming here, the students allow us to fulfill one of our missions, namely the promotion of the symbols of the State,’ indicated the Secretary General of the Grand Chancellery, Emmanuel Sorgho.
During this meeting, the secretary general spoke to the students about the Burkinabè orders, their history and the different orders that exist.
These are the national orders which concern the Order of the Stallion and the Order of Merit of Burkina Faso and specific orders which include, among others, the Order of Merit for Rural Development and the Order of Merit for Youth and sports.
Mr. Sorgho also explained to them the conditions for admission to the Burkinabe orders and the disciplinary sanctions that can be taken against members of the Burkinabè Order of Merit, namel
y warning, suspension and exclusion.
Mr. Sorgho’s second communication focused on the symbols of the State which are the emblem, the coat of arms, the national anthem and the motto.
‘By explaining to them the meaning of these symbols, students will be able to fight against incivility in the country and against terrorism because a person who understands the meaning of these symbols cannot go and take a weapon against the country,’ said added the Secretary General of the Grand Chancellery.
According to the student delegate of the International Institute of Management, Moussa Diallo, one must know the values ??of one’s country to be able to help it and it is necessary for them today to learn from the different institutions of the country in order to be able to provide their contribution.
‘We are the leaders, the agents of change and the guardians of the heritage of our country. We must strive to be exemplary citizens, aware of our duties to society and ready to serve with integrity and passion,’ he added.
‘
We have learned a lot about decorations, the conditions for being decorated and we will work to ensure that within three years we are also decorated,’ added the student delegate.
For his part, the Grand Chancellor General Pingrenoma Zagré expressed his appreciation for this initiative.
‘We are happy to make you actors, ambassadors who participate in the promotion of the symbols and values ??of the state,’ he continued.
The Grand Chancellor of the Burkinabè Orders ensures, under the high authority of the President of Faso, Grand Master of the Burkinabè Orders, the administration and management of the Burkinabè Orders.

First president of the Administrative Court, Mehdi GrissiS, called for revising the law on the Council of Jurisdictional Conflicts among Courts, which has not been amended despite judicial developments.
Speaking in Tunis on Thursday at a meeting organised by Democracy Reporting International (DRI-Tunisia) on “The jurisprudence of the Council of Jurisdictional Conflicts and its role in strengthening the right to justice”, the First President of the Administrative Court, who is also the President of that Council said it is currently facing a number of challenges and problems stemming from the law under which it was established.
According to GrissiS, Organic Law No. 1996-38 of June 3, 1996, under which the Council of Jurisdictional Conflicts was established, has not been subsequently amended or supplemented, despite developments in the judicial scene.
The main challenges faced by the Council include the automatic referral of cases to it, the lack of a specific seat for the Council and the lack of funds alloca
ted to it in the State budget.
In addition, he pointed out that this body has no logistical or human resources, which hinders the smooth running of its work.
The First President of the administrative court also pointed out that the Council has continued its work since January, by examining nearly 184 cases, noting that its work has been frozen for 10 years and that it has not met since 2014.
In this context, he undertook to settle the remaining 140 cases in the coming months.
The Disputes Council, which is responsible for settling disputes of jurisdiction that may arise between the Administrative Court and the courts of the judicial system, was created by Organic Law No. 1996-38 of June 3 1996.
It is a collegiate body chaired alternately for two years by the First President of the Court of Cassation and the First President of the Administrative Court.
The Council is composed of six members chosen in equal numbers from among the presidents of the chambers and the active judges of the Court of Cassation a
nd the Administrative Court.
