International Human Rights Law in Africa & Domestic Human Rights Law in Africa (2 Vols.): 5 - Tapa dura

The combination of Volume I and II, of international and domestic human rights aspects, presents the first complete work on the human rights situation in Africa. Therefore, the aim editor Christof Heyns propounds at the very beginning, to provide a work that is appropriate to make the vast body of human rights law in Africa accessible to all persons involved or interested in this field, can only be achieved through an approach like this.
German Yearbook of International Law, Volume 47, 2004.

The aim of this reference work is to make African human rights law accessible to all those involved in or interested in human rights law on the continent in order to strengthen its impact.
Primary documents are introduced and reproduced and presented in a coherent framework. The main institutions - public and private - dealing with human rights in Africa are identified and discussed. Comprehensive overviews of the international human rights legal regimes applicable to Africa, as well as country reports are provided. This book tries to contribute towards documenting, systemising and anchoring the African human rights system.
