内容説明

Everyone who has tried to do systematic research on human rights law in Africa will know how difficult it is to find sources. The unfortunate consequence of this state of affairs is that it is almost impossible for an indigenous African human rights jurisprudence to develop. As a result human rights in Africa are often seen at worst as a left-over of colonialism and at best as a foreign visitor without permanent roots. This text is aimed at helping to solve this problem. The series, edited by three eminent human rights lawyers from Africa, appears annually and gives an overview of the current state of human rights law on the continent, on the UN, regional and national levels. This first volume contains an exposition of the status of UN human rights treaties in Africa, a reprint of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights and the human rights provisions of the constitutions of all African countries.

目次

Introduction. Part One: United Nations Human Rights Treaties in Africa. Part Two: The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. Part Three: Human Rights Provisions of the Constitutions of African States.

内容説明

This is the third annual volume in the "Human Rights Law in Africa Series". Subsequent volumes supplement earlier ones: new as well as updated information is provided in later volumes, but instead of reprinting information from earlier volumes that is still relevant, later volumes simply make reference to the availability of that information. In using the series, the reader should consequently start with the list of contents of the last available volume, for a reference to where in the series the information may be found. The series' main objective is to make a contribution towards the greater realization of human rights norms in Africa.
