La timide recomposition du paysage politique en cours dans un nombre croissant d’États africains est sans conteste le produit en même temps que le moteur de la revendication des droits de l’homme dans ces mêmes États. Adoptée en 1981, la Charte africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples a, avant l’heure, mis l’emphase sur cette relation dialectique entre libération des peuples et libertés de l’individu. Ce n’est pas là la moindre originalité de cette convention régionale que le présent ouvrage se propose d’analyser minutieusement sur un plan juridique. Pour l’essentiel, l’ouvrage consiste en un examen approfondi du contenu normatif et institutionnel de la Charte africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples. Cette étude apporte des réponses précises à toute une série de questions qui ne manquent pas d’interpeller le juriste. En consacrant par exemple les devoirs de l’individu, cette convention ne reprend-elle pas d’un côté ce qu’elle donne de l’autre à l’individu ? Les droits de l’individu ne risquent-ils pas d’être sacrifiés sur l’autel des droits du peuple ? À cet égard, un des principaux mérites de cette étude est qu’elle n’hésite pas à explorer certains pans entiers du droit international général ; il en va ainsi à propos de l’absence de clause de dérogation qui fait l’objet d’une analyse rigoureuse sous l’angle du droit des traités ou encore de la question des droits du peuple. Le fonctionnement de la Commission africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples, installée à Banjul (Gambie) en 1989, est également examiné dans le détail. L’étude s’achève par une évaluation générale de la Charte africaine et de son rôle potentiel dans la protection des droits de l’homme en Afrique. Première monographie exhaustive en langue française sur la Charte africaine, elle est un ouvrage incontournable pour tout praticien du droit ou des relations internationales intéressé par la problématique des droits de l’homme en Afrique.

This volume discusses the legal limits to the authority of the Security Council under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. The interest in this topic regained importance when the Security Council started to play an increasingly active role after a period of dormancy between 1945 and 1990. The work describes various approaches to Charter interpretation, provides an overview of the Council's powers under the Charter and surveys the Council's recent practice with regard to the maintenance of international peace and security. Subsequently the sources and contents of the limits to the Council's authority are analyzed. This is followed by an analysis of the role of the International Court of Justice, which includes an overview of the main obstacles to, and possibilities of, judicial review by the Court of Council decisions taken under Chapter VII. Finally, the work discusses recent proposals to enhance the Council's legitimacy.

This pioneering publication provides a Reference Guide to the significant contributions of decisions of the World Court, as the principal judicial organ of the United Nations and the world's most senior Court with the broadest material jurisdiction, to the development of the law of the sea as a part of the global system of peace and security. The Guide is dedicated to the Court's former President Stephen M. Schwebel in appreciation of his belief that it is important for the Court to further explore its pre-eminently unique role throughout the Third Millennium. Whereas the format of specific entries covered by this Reference Guide largely corresponds to the Parts and Annexes of the 1982 UN Law of the Sea Convention (UNCLOS) and the 1994 Part XI Agreement, the heading of each entry also contains, as appropriate, references to the 1930 League of Nations Hague Draft, the four 1958 UN Geneva Conventions and the 1995 UN Straddling Stocks Agreement, as well as to the 1972 UN Stockholm, the 1992 Rio UNCED and the 2002 Johannesbourg instruments. This will enable the reader to relate the Court's decisions to the respective UNCLOS provisions as originated from and as implemented by these global framework instruments at various stages of codification and progressive development of the law of the sea. The entries cover principally Judgments and Orders (including the related pleadings) of the PCIJ and the ICJ and those decisions of Arbitral Tribunals and other third party fora as well as national courts which have been relied upon in the Court's jurisprudence. In addition, the recent decisions of the ITLOS and some other fora, such as the Annex VII Southern Bluefin Tuna, Singapore volume Malaysia, Barbados/Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana/Suriname and the Mox Plant Arbitral Tribunals, as well as references to treaties are also listed under specific entries as appropriate. Tables of Cases and Treaties will importantly facilitate the use of this Reference Guide . It has proven to be an indispensable tool for the Judges and governmental and other practitioners in furthering the coherent development of the law of the sea by international courts and tribunals on the one hand, and for international community of academics in the adequate assessing of this development on the other hand.
