APPENDIX
AFRICAN (BANJUL) CHARTER ON HUMAN AND PEOPLES RIGHTS
..................389
iii
To protect the inviolability of human dignity worldwide is the
ultimate objective of the concept of human rights. Human
rights are considered and officially accepted as universal
-
regardless of their genesis or cultural manifestation. History
and experience show, however, that respect for the dignity
and rights of human beings cannot be taken for granted:
they must be constantly nurtured and vigorously guarded.
It is against this background that this publication evolved.
Its contents stem from the conviction that, amongst several
means, legal instruments and institutions can contribute to
the advancement of human rights.
Human rights as a legal concept arrived in Africa relatively late.
The United Nations System, international law and the African
Union have certainly all contributed to the establishment of
a human rights system in Africa, which has positively and
indispensably impacted on the advancement of human rights
and of justice. Yet some of the promises made about such
rights being guaranteed under global, continental, regional
and national legal instruments have remained unfulfilled.
Therefore, this publication on human rights on the continent
tries to capture the current status, development and
transformation of the African human rights protection system.
It elaborates on the various legal instruments, institutions and
mechanisms at fts disposal. The
12
articles summarise the
achievements gained and challenges faced when it comes to
respecting human rights In Africa, including all aspects of the
effectiveness of the protection system and its implementation.
The publication is also a tribute to the increasing significance
of human rights as a policy issue in Africa,
andas
a primary
component of global regulatory policy and global governance.
May this publication nobly serve the purpose ofdeepening
the understanding of human rights, strengthening the
rule of law. and protecting and promoting the dignity of
the people of Africa.
Desmond Tutu. Nobel Peace Prize Laureate,
in his Foreword to this publication
