Abstract:

The right to nationality, enshrined in art 15 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, is absent in the 1981 African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, known as the Banjul Charter. On-going efforts by African institutions to address this gap, with a view to eradicating statelessness in the continent have, however, focused on the right to nationality as an individual right. This has undermined the spirit of the Banjul Charter, which consecrates peoples’ rights as an African specificity. This article highlights the Banjul-led African human rights system and its specificities of human rig

Abstract:

Although the African human rights legal system boasts of many treaties, the most relevant in the context of sexual minority rights is the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (African Charter), which agreement enjoys near unanimous ratification by members of the African Union (AU). As Vincent Nmehielle justly noted, ‘the African Charter is the primary normative instrument of the African human rights system.’ It thus may easily be regarded as the ‘regional bill of rights.’ This paper will deal with this matters, showing the status questionis in Africa.

On May 11, 2018, the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights (African Court) delivered a judgment against Mali concerning its Persons and Family Code (Family Code). This case is groundbreaking because it is the first time that the African Court has found violations of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa (Maputo Protocol) and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (African Children's Charter).

Abstract:

Pending the establishment of the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights, the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights remains the only institutional body for the implementation of the rights guaranteed in the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights.
