African System for the Protection of Human Rights (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786207876907)

The quest to preserve human dignity has always been one of the major concerns of all states, to the point where it even characterizes inter-state relations. Whereas in the past this was virtually an idealistic philosophy, the world's two wars have succeeded not only in overturning the international system, but also in making rights in the truest sense of the word. Thus, three years after the end of the Second World War, States began to build a system to protect human rights. On December 10, 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights saw the light of day, and eighteen years later two texts (covenants) were to make this declaration binding on States. African states and the African Union are no exception to this universal quest. A system for the protection of human rights has been created within the territory of the African Union. A system that takes account of African moral values. This system is designed to preserve and restore the dignity of African citizens. Long scorned for their racial differences
