Harare Declaration

The Harare Declaration, made in 1991 by African leaders, emphasized the importance of democracy, good governance, and human rights across Africa. It committed member countries to adhere to principles like regular free elections, respect for political pluralism, and the protection of citizens' rights. Essentially, it was a rallying call for African nations to strengthen democratic practices and promote stability, transparency, and accountability in governance, fostering political development and reducing corruption, with the aim of enhancing peace and prosperity on the continent.
