Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Establishment of an African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights

The Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights establishing the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights is an agreement that created a specialized court to protect human rights across Africa. It allows individuals and groups to bring cases about rights violations directly to the court. The goal is to promote justice, accountability, and respect for human rights on the continent. The court complements national legal systems, ensuring that abuses are addressed at regional levels when local justice systems are unable or unwilling to act.
