The Human Rights Law in Africa Series is an evolving reference work on human rights law in Africa. The Series covers in particular the primary documents related to human rights law in Africa of the United Nations, the Organization of African Unity, and the domestic legal systems of all 53 African countries. Some selected factual discussions are also included, as well as bibliographies.
The Series has been published on an annual basis since 1996. Later volumes supplement and do not replace earlier ones. Each volume covers new documents available to the editors up to the 1st of January of that year. Documents published in earlier volumes and that are still valid are not reprinted in subsequent volumes; instead readers are provided with the appropriate references to earlier volumes. Any search for information in the Series should consequently start with the Table of Contents of the last available volume.
So far the Series has covered, amongst others, the ratification of UN human rights treaties by African states as well as reservations; the documents of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda; the texts of the main OAU treaties; the work of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights; and the constitutional provisions relating to human rights of all African countries.
A wide range of topics is covered for the first time in this volume, including resolutions of various OAU bodies in respect of human rights; the relevant provisions of the treaties establishing sub-regional inter-governmental organisations; and the founding documents of national human rights institutions in Africa.
