Paper short abstract

In 2014, famously, President Compaoré of Burkina Faso failed to modify the constitution and was deposed. Less well known is a 2015 ECOWAS Court ruling invalidating the insurrectionary government's new electoral code. This, however, created acute legitimation problems for the country's new judges.
