Details

Africa and the Universality of Human Rights offers a succinct but comprehensive treatment of the human rights systems and machinery applicable in Africa. It consolidates a wide range of materials and sources in a comprehensive way that will be of value to teachers, students, scholars and activists. It makes clear that, notwithstanding difficulties experienced on the ground, African governments, peoples, and institutions together have repeatedly expressed their commitment to the universality of human rights, the corner-stone of the contemporary international order.
