Timeline

1945

Abdulai Osman Conteh (born 5 August 1945) is a Sierra Leonean lawyer and politician.

Dr Conteh was born on 5 August 1945 in the village of Rogbere, Gbinleh Dixon Chiefdom in Kambia District, British Sierra Leone.

He is from Sierra Leone's Susu ethnic group, which is predominantly based in the north-eastern part of the country - especially Kambia.

Conteh was raised mostly in Freetown; he attended Albert Academy and later Fourah Bay College before travelling to the UK for further studies.

1970

He returned home in the early 1970s and worked for the SL Law Officers Department.

Dr. Conteh later went into private practice and taught law at Fourah Bay College for several years.

Dr Conteh was a member of the All Peoples Congress (APC) party.

1974

Dr Conteh has the following educational qualifications: Ph.D., (International Law), 1974, King's College, Cambridge; LLB (Hons): 1971, King's College, Cambridge; LLM: 1971, London University, United Kingdom; LLB (Hons): 1969, King's College London; Barrister at Law: Called to the Bar of England and Wales, 1970, at Lincoln's Inn, London, United Kingdom; Harold Porter Prize man In Land Law, 1968.

1977

His public service in Sierra Leone has included holding the offices of Minister of Foreign Affairs (1977–1984); Minister of Finance (1984–1985); Attorney-General and Minister of Justice (1987–1991) and First Vice-president and Minister of Rural Development (1991–1992).

He served as a member of Parliament from Kambia District (his paternal home district) from 1977 to 1992.

1992

He is a former vice president of Sierra Leone, who served under President Joseph Saidu Momoh before he was ousted by the military junta in 1992.

Conteh later spent a considerable number of years in Belize, where he served as the country's chief justice before returning to Sierra Leone.

2000

In January 2000, Conteh became the Chief Justice of the Belize Supreme Court.

2007

In late 2007, Conteh was nominated as a candidate to become Chairperson of the African Union Commission in early 2008, but he was not successful, with Jean Ping of Gabon being elected.

In 2007 and 2010, Conteh authored two decisions affirming the common law doctrine of aboriginal title and the existence of Maya customary land tenure in the Toledo District of Belize.

2008

Only the villages of Conejo and Santa Cruz were parties to the 2008 ruling; however, the 2010 ruling was the result of a representative action on behalf of all the Maya communities.

The ruling voided all government leases, concessions, grants, and contracts adverse to the Maya tenure.

The "landmark victory" is predicted to have "far-reaching implications" for "logging, mining, and petroleum concessions in what the Maya community claims is over 500,000 acres of ancestral homeland."

The government appealed the decision to the Caribbean Court of Justice, where on the eve of the hearing it conceded all of Justice Conteh's original holdings.

The CCJ later awarded the Maya damages for violation of their constitutional right to have their property legally protected.

In December 2008, Dr. Conteh was appointed as a Justice of the Court of Appeal of the Cayman Islands.

2010

Conteh turned 65 on 5 August 2010, forcing him to retire since his contract was not renewed by Prime Minister Dean Barrow.

Barrow's decision not to offer Conteh a renewal was condemned by the Belize Bar Association in a resolution criticising the "unseemly manner in which the tenure of the chief justice has been treated by the government of Belize."

His retirement became a "national political issue because the Chief Justice is popular with the masses of the Belizean people, and is regarded by many as fair-minded and fearless. Several of his landmark rulings particularly on constitutional issues are considered "anti-government" and "anti-establishment," and many were made even under the former Musa administration."

In 2010, he was appointed to the Court of Appeal of the Bahamas, where he served until November, 2015.

Dr. Conteh is married to Radia Labi Conteh and they have 6 children.
