The African Regional Human Rights System by Manisuli Ssenyonjo Pdf
The African human rights system has undergone some remarkable developments since the adoption of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights, the cornerstone of the African human rights system, in June 1981. The year2011 marked the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the African Charter. It also marked 25 years since the African Charter entered into force on 21 October 1986.This book aims to provide reflections on most of the major human rights issues in the past 30 years of the African human rights system in practice and discussion on the future: the African Charter s impact and contribution to the respect, protection and promotion of human rights in Africa; the contemporary challenges faced by the African Human rights system in responding adequately to the demands of rapidly evolving African societies; and how the African human rights system can be strengthened in the future to ensure that the human rights protected in the African Charter, as developed in the jurisprudence of the African Commission since the Commission was inaugurated in 1987, are realised in practice.The chapters in this volume bring together the work of 20 human rights scholars and practitioners, with expertise in human rights in Africa, under the following general themes: rights and duties in the African Charter; rights of the vulnerable under the African system; implementation mechanisms for human rights in Africa; and towards an effective African regional human rights system.
The African Criminal Court by Gerhard Werle,Moritz Vormbaum Pdf
This book offers the first comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the provisions of the ‘Malabo Protocol’—the amendment protocol to the Statute of the African Court of Justice and Human and Peoples’ Rights—adopted by the African Union at its 2014 Summit in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. The Annex to the protocol, once it has received the required number of ratifications, will create a new Section in the African Court of Justice and Human and Peoples’ Rights with jurisdiction over international and transnational crimes, hence an ‘African Criminal Court’. In this book, leading experts in the field of international criminal law analyze the main provisions of the Annex to the Malabo Protocol. The book provides an essential and topical source of information for scholars, practitioners and students in the field of international criminal law, and for all readers with an interest in political science and African studies. Gerhard Werle is Professor of German and Internationa l Crimina l Law, Criminal Procedure and Modern Legal History at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Director of the South African-German Centre for Transnational Criminal Justice. In addition, he is an Extraordinary Professor at the University of the Western Cape and Honorary Professor at North-West University of Political Science and Law (Xi’an, China). Moritz Vormbaum received his doctoral degree in criminal law from the University of Münster (Germany) and his postdoctoral degree from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. He is a Senior Researcher at Humboldt-Universität, as well as a coordinator and lecturer at the South African-German Centre for Transnational Criminal Justice.
The African Human Rights System by Vincent O. Nmehielle Pdf
This volume is a comprehensive treatment of the African human rights system in terms of the laws, practice, and institutions of the system. The volume discusses, analyzes, and evaluates normative instruments of the African system: the Charter of the Organization of the African Unity (OAU), and the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, presenting article-by-article analysis of its provisions and those of the Protocol on the Establishment of the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights. Similarly the OAU (now the African Union), the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, and the proposed African Court on Human Rights, as institutions of the system, are discussed. The book emphasizes a comparative approach and presents a summary of the UN, the European and the Inter-American human rights mechanisms with regard to their impact on the African system. The role of NGOs in the African system is also considered, as well as the controversial issue of human rights in pre-colonial and colonial Africa.
The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights by Rachel Murray Pdf
The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) is the principle regional human rights treaty for the African continent. Adopted in 1981, there is now a significant body of jurisprudence and interpretation by its African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights and the recently established African Court. This volume provides a comprehensive article-by-article legal analysis of the provisions of the Charter as it draws upon the documents adopted by the African Commission, including resolutions, case law, and concluding observations. Where relevant, case law adopted by the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights, and that of other sub-regional courts and tribunals and domestic courts in Africa, are also incorporated. The book examines not only the substantive rights in the African Charter but also the work of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights and provides a full examination of its mandate. A critical analysis of each of the provisions of the ACHPR is led principally by the jurisprudence and documentation of the African Commission and African Court. The text also identifies the overall development of the ACHPR within the broader regional and international human rights legal arena.
African Court of Human and Peoples' Rights. Development and procedural problems by Sonja Kahl Pdf
Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: 1,0, University of Geneva, language: English, abstract: Ten years after the establishment of the African Court of Human and Peoples’ Rights, the question arises how the Court has dealt with human rights issues so far. By analyzing the behavior of the Court in its case law, this paper shall examine the contribution of the African Court to the development of human rights in Africa and what its prospects might be. This paper will emphasize the procedural problems that Art 34(6) of the Protocol represents concerning the access of African citizens to the Court and how the case law on this issue evidences the conflict between state sovereignty and human rights on the African continent, and the Court’s difficult position in trying to reconcile them. Furthermore, the paper will provide an overview of the case law of the Court on human rights issues. On the one hand, the Court’s decisions highlight a serious confusion among the population concerning the Court’s role, showing that the Court is often considered to be an appellate organ that deals with ordinary civil law matters. On the other hand, however, once the Court comes to decide, it is capable of taking a liberal approach concerning political rights. Based on this case law, the paper will provide some main conclusions and give an outlook on the future of the Court.
The African Charter of Human and Peoples' Rights by Fatsah Ouguergouz Pdf
This work reveals the true dimension of the African Charter through a systematic analysis of its real or apparent innovations and a detailed assessment of the commitments of the States parties. It also analyzes the effectiveness of the mechanism put in place to monitor compliance with those commitments, examining the practice of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights from its establishment in 1987. It incorporates major recent achievements in the field of the protection of human rights in Africa, including the creation of the African Court of Human and Peoples’ Rights and the establishment of the African Union. This work is the expanded and updated English version of La Charte africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples – Une approche juridique des droits de l’homme entre tradition et modernité (Presses Universitaires de France, Paris).
The African Court of Human Rights and Peoples' Rights by Simone Fennell,Dorina Andoni Pdf
The creation of a human rights court for Africa offers significant opportunities to secure a better life for all on the continent. So far, the potential of the African Court of Human Rights and Peoples' Rights (AfCHPR) in complementing the protective mandate of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACommHPR) has remained largely unexplored. In the only case submitted to it, the Court correctly - but through an inordinately protracted process - concluded that it did not have jurisdiction to deal with the matter. There are several reasons for this dearth of cases. A major reason is that some of the States that are most frequently found in violation of their Charter obligations by the ACommHPR have not yet ratified the AfCHPR Protocol. Therefore, the ACommHPR cannot transfer these cases to the AfCHPR. Regardless of the lack of cases and power of the court, it is interesting to get a firm understanding of the documents that underlie the establishment of the AfCHPR to be able to compare them to already existing courts. This book examines these basic documents. [Subject: International Law, African Law, Human Rights Law]
Human Rights under the African Charter by Allwell Uwazuruike Pdf
This book critically examines the civil, political, socioeconomic, and group rights protected under the African Charter and its Protocol on women’s rights. It then examines the institutional protection of these rights through the African Commission and African Court. The book builds on the concept of regionalism within Africa and the recent drive for finding “African solutions to African problems” by tracing the development of human rights within Africa and assessing the effectiveness of Africa’s core regional human rights institutions. In turn, it critically analyses the obstacles to the full implementation of human rights in Africa such as the lack of political will, jurisdictional issues, lack of resources and funding, poverty, illiteracy, corruption, and customary practices that violate human rights. In closing, the book discusses possible solutions to these problems.
