African human rights system

The African human rights system is a regional framework designed to promote and protect human rights across African countries. It includes key institutions like the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights and the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights, which monitor issues, hear complaints, and enforce rights. These bodies are guided by the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, a treaty adopted by member states. While fostering cooperation and accountability, the system faces challenges like limited enforcement capabilities and political constraints, but it plays a vital role in advancing human rights awareness and protection on the continent.
