Book Synopsis The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights by : Rachel Murray
Download or read book The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights written by Rachel Murray and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) is the principle regional human rights treaty for the African continent. Adopted in 1981, there is now a significant body of jurisprudence and interpretation by its African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights and the recently established African Court. This volume provides a comprehensive article-by-article legal analysis of the provisions of the Charter as it draws upon the documents adopted by the African Commission, including resolutions, case law, and concluding observations. Where relevant, case law adopted by the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights, and that of other sub-regional courts and tribunals and domestic courts in Africa, are also incorporated. The book examines not only the substantive rights in the African Charter but also the work of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights and provides a full examination of its mandate. A critical analysis of each of the provisions of the ACHPR is led principally by the jurisprudence and documentation of the African Commission and African Court. The text also identifies the overall development of the ACHPR within the broader regional and international human rights legal arena.
Book Synopsis The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights by : U. Oji Umozurike
Download or read book The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights written by U. Oji Umozurike and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an in-depth study of the African Charter of Human and Peoples' Rights, written with the insight of an insider. It assesses the effectiveness of the Charter and of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights in its formative years. It also compares the Charter with other major human rights instruments. The author asserts that respect for human rights made the existence of African societies possible despite the eras of gross violation. The survival of African societies, indeed their continued development, depends on respect for human rights. While conceding the universality of human rights, the author underscores African specificities and pecularities. He discusses the proper limits of `exclusively internal matters', as often claimed by African spokesmen, and puts forward the legitimate concerns of the international community as an effective check to arbitrariness and other violations. The book will be of special interest to international lawyers, law students, the judiciary and foreign office officials. The human rights activist will find it particularly useful in dealing with the African situation.
Book Synopsis Human Rights under the African Charter by : Allwell Uwazuruike
Download or read book Human Rights under the African Charter written by Allwell Uwazuruike and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-29 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines the civil, political, socioeconomic, and group rights protected under the African Charter and its Protocol on women’s rights. It then examines the institutional protection of these rights through the African Commission and African Court. The book builds on the concept of regionalism within Africa and the recent drive for finding “African solutions to African problems” by tracing the development of human rights within Africa and assessing the effectiveness of Africa’s core regional human rights institutions. In turn, it critically analyses the obstacles to the full implementation of human rights in Africa such as the lack of political will, jurisdictional issues, lack of resources and funding, poverty, illiteracy, corruption, and customary practices that violate human rights. In closing, the book discusses possible solutions to these problems.

Download or read book The African Social Charter written by Mutagaywa Ngemera and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-02 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African Social Charter addresses African human development through improvements in culture, attitudes, social philosophy and social governance. It is a response to the unsatisfactory human and economic development that Sub Saharan Africa has recorded after the end of European colonialism. It is also however an attempt to provide a common cultural platform that can serve all tribes in all countries, especially in urban areas. African customs, traditions and physical cultural artefacts are also however ancient and they need to be both upgraded and harmonised. The Charter is educational, motivational and practical; providing detailed guidance on how to live African life in a much changed world of the 21st century and beyond.This book is not an academic textbook and is, instead, an epistle to the African nation as a life guide on matters of tradition, heritage, culture and social governance but will be of interest also to all governments and development stakeholders of Sub Saharan Africa. It is a blueprint for a new nation of Sub Saharan Africa and, amounts to a cultural revolution to recreate the inner core of this nation by adding purpos, resolve and accomplshment to African national identity. It addresses the long tem future of this region.

The year2011 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.
