Abstract
En el presente artículo analizaremos unos de los tribunales regionales de protección de los derechos humanos más desconocidos en el mundo occidental: el Tribunal Africano de Derechos Humanos y de los Pueblos (TADHP). Si bien fue creado en 2004, no ha sido sino en los últimos años cuando ha llevado a cabo una incontestable tutela de los derechos humanos en África, actitud que ha dado lugar a que, pese a los arduos retos que aún ha de afrontar, tanto la sociedad civil como organismos pro derechos humanos y académicos hayan puesto sus esperanzas en esta institución en aras de acabar con la impunidad que azota dicho continente, siguiendo los pasos de sus continentes hermanos: América y Europa.
In this article we will analyze one of the less known regional courts of human rights protection to the western world: the African Court on Human Rights and People’s Rights (AfCHPR). Although it was created in 2004, it was not until recent years that it has irrefutably protected human rights in Africa. This attitude has caused, despite the difficult challenges to be faced, that both the civil society as well as pro human rights and academic bodies to put their hope in this institution in order to end the impunity that reigns in said continent, following the steps of its sibling continents: America and Europe.
