The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR), adopted in 1981 and enforced in 1986, is a key legal instrument designed to protect human rights across the African continent. It uniquely combines both individual and collective rights, addressing civil and political rights as well as economic, social, and cultural rights. The Charter emphasizes the right to life, personal security, education, health, work, and protection from discrimination, while also acknowledging the rights of peoples to self-determination and the responsible use of natural resources. It recognizes the importance of both the individual and the community in achieving human dignity. The ACHPR provides mechanisms for enforcement, including the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, which monitors state compliance, and the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights, where individuals and NGOs can bring cases against states. However, challenges remain in its implementation, with inconsistent enforcement across member states and insufficient political will in some cases. Many countries fail to fully implement the Charter’s provisions or obstruct human rights accountability. Despite these challenges, the African Charter remains a critical framework for promoting human rights, peace, and justice in Africa. Its comprehensive approach to rights, combining individual freedoms with collective social and economic development, provides a robust foundation for advancing human dignity across the continent. However, for the Charter to achieve its full potential, stronger enforcement mechanisms and increased political commitment from African governments are essential.

I loved this discussion! I was moved and also got emotional with the answers. Thank you for the hard work, education and passion that all of you clearly have ❤ “it’s not supposed to be difficult to love someone. Why is it difficult to love unconditional ? why hate? Why not to love, why not spread a message of incondicional love?

💙💙💙💙

merci pour l'information

The disabled community need increased protection under international law. Even countries like the us and Canada take part in what I can only discribe as genocidal conduct against it most vulnerable citizens in this way.

Moving submissions, she was well grounded in both the facts of the case the relevant legal rules and case law precedents. I have learned some Mooting skills from her.

I am excited and encouraged by this information that you have shared here. I did not know that there was a way where I can make a difference as I am only me. What a blessing to hear people who think the way I think speak out and give us ideas in ways which we can help further inclusiveness for all. Especially the attention to relief efforts and what occurs when people already are in a bad situation and others have evil in mind.✌️🫶🌍🌎🌏❤️🫵

I can't believe that either I forget or I think I am one type of person and yet I am not certain that if I am so confused about me then imagine this newly being confusing to kids hearing this for the first time

I have amnesia or forgetfulness because I forgot what I am and at this point and time in life I don't know why they keep trying to get me to believe that I am not certain that people that I love ever even died or if I ever knew that I was one or the other

Talking about decolonization with a white lady 😂😂

TY for this very informative video.

That's true ur are beautiful indeed beib

Splendid and an amazing address

I renounced my US citizenship to become stateless. Call my crazy but what's crazy is having to pay taxes to a country I never lived in. 0:25 That's not really "stateless". Don't eliminate statelessness, eliminate citizenship! (or at least re-work the citizenship paradigm) 0:58 doesn't matter if you're stateless or not. Regardless if you hold a citizenship but your government doesn't recognise it, or if you don't hold any citizenship - you won't have your rights respected if your government refuses to provide you appropriate documents. Blame the government, not statelessness. How does forcing citizenship solve the problem?

😢 continue to rest in power Ngcamane😢

Thanks Sutfu, well narrated

Awesome

Isn't that flag upside-down

The people’s lawyer✊🏾

Very important dialogue. Well done team.

Enlightening discussion. Its one thing to hear about the undemocratic environment in Eswatini in passing and a whole different experience listening to human rights defenders narrate their experiences. Good job advocacy team👏🏾
