The African Charter of Human and Peoples' Rights came into force in 1986, and is unique in that it lacks a precedent. However, little scholarship exists analysing it as an operational system in practice. The success of the first edition of this book has led to this updated second edition. Contributors include experts who have been actively involved in the implementation of the Charter - commissioners, NGOs and academics. Offering a detailed evaluation of the Charter as a mechanism for the promotion and protection of human rights in Africa, the contributions cover the Charter's reporting system, the interpretation of different rights by the Commission, the prospects for the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights and the role of NGOs. This authoritative and comprehensive volume will interest lawyers acting for government and non-governmental organisations, as well as academics and postgraduates.

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 year 2011 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.

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).

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.
