This book provides a comprehensive and analytical overview of human
rights law in Africa. It examines the institutions, norms, and
processes for human rights realization provided for under the
United Nations system, the African Union, and sub-regional economic
communitites in Africa, and explores their relationship with the
national legal systems of African states. Since the establishment
of the African Union in 2001, there has been a proliferation of
regional institutions that are relevant to human rights in Africa.
These include the Pan African Parliament, the Peace and Security
Council, the Economic, Social and Cultural Council and the African
Peer Review Mechanism of the New Partnership for Africa's
Development. This book discusses the links between these
institutions. It further examines the case law stemming from
Africa' most important human rights instrument, the African Charter
on Human and Peoples Rights, which entered into force on 21 October
1986. This new edition contains a new chapter on the African
Children's Rights Committee as well as full coverage of new
developments and instruments, such as the Convention on the Rights
of Persons with Disabilities, the Convention on Enforced
Disappearances, and the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and
Governance. Three cross-cutting themes are explored throughout the
book: national implementation and enforcement of international
human rights law; legal and other forms of integration; and the
role of human rights in the eradication of poverty. The book also
provides an introduction to the relevant human rights concepts.
