About the publication The year 2016 was declared by the African Union as the African ‘Year of Human Rights with Particular Focus on the Rights of Women’ to commemorate and celebrate significant milestones in the realisation of human rights on the African continent. The year marks the 35th anniversary of the adoption of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (African Charter), 30th year since coming into force of the African Charter and 10 years since the inauguration of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights. Since its adoption, the African Charter has been supplemented by the Protocol on the Rights of Women in Africa (Maputo Protocol). All AU member states (with the exception of new comer South Sudan) are state parties to the African Charter, and 36 of them have accepted the Maputo Protocol. This book assesses the impact and effectiveness of the African Charter and the Maputo Protocol in 17 African countries, namely Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe. The book is the result of research conducted by selected alumni of the Centre for Human Rights’ LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa programme. The Centre for Human Rights, which in 2016 is also celebrating 30 years of human rights education, intends to use this research as the basis for a continuously updated database on the impact of the African Charter and Maputo Protocol.

The jurisprudence of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights has widely recognised the right to life as a foundational right. Without the right to life, other rights cannot be implemented. The Commission adopted General Comment No.3 on the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the right to life (Article 4) during its 57th Ordinary Session, held in Banjul, The Gambia, in November 2015. It is designed to guide the interpretation and application of the right to life under the Charter and to ensure its coherent application to a range of situations, including its implementation at the domestic level. The General Comment does not put in place new standards or highlight best practices but rather sets out the Commission’s perspective on dimensions of this universally recognised right. The text is also available, in the four official languages of the African Union, on the African Commission’s website: www.achpr.org

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 book includes chapters from a range of countries which critically reflect on recent developments in child protection policy and practice. It is a follow-up to ‘Contemporary Developments in Child Protection’ Volumes 1, 2 and 3, which were published by MDPI in 2015. It begins from the premise that the concerns of child protection have broadened considerably in recent years, and that the policies and practices are complex. It also begins from the recognition that child protection policies and practices are themselves shaped by a wide range of social, cultural and political factors, which vary both over time and in different contexts and jurisdictions.
