African Human Rights Law stands as a distinctive and crucial component within the broader international and regional human rights protection frameworks. Its evolution is deeply rooted in the continent’s unique historical experiences, which include the struggles for decolonization, the pursuit of self-determination, and a strong emphasis on communal values. Unlike some international instruments primarily focused on individual rights, the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) notably champions “peoples’ rights,” encompassing collective aspirations such as the right to development and a healthy environment.
