Implementing human rights in Africa

Den här boken är slutsåld.

The possibility of individual complaints gives teeth to a human rights convention. This book concerns the way in which individual communications under the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights are handled by the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights. The African Commission has faced considerable procedural problems in its effort to enforce the rights and freedoms of the Charter. These problems by now have been mostly solved, often in imaginative and original ways. This book takes up some of the problems as well as the solutions found by the African Commission.

The actual role of the courts in African states, as it appears from the communication submitted to he Commission, as well as the desired role of the judiciary in the view of the African Commission is also explored.
