The African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights

Abstract

Although the significance of both the European Court of Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the international sphere is undeniable, the African Court of Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACtHPR), despite being established later, is poised to attain similar relevance. Therefore, it is appropriate to conduct a detailed study of the notable work this Court has been undertaking, particularly in recent years, considering that the ACtHPR serves as the primary mechanism for guaranteeing and monitoring the African System of Human and Peoples’ Rights.
