African Human Rights Yearbook

Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The African Human Rights Yearbook focuses on the interpretation and implementation of human rights law within the African context. It examines the role and effectiveness of regional human rights bodies, such as the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, in addressing violations and promoting compliance. The journal also explores the intersection of human rights with various thematic issues, including women's rights, the rights of persons with disabilities, the right to adequate housing, environmental protection, and the impact of socio-economic factors on human rights realization across the continent.
