African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights

The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights is a foundational regional human rights treaty designed to protect basic rights and collective freedoms across Africa. Also widely recognized as the Banjul Charter, it establishes civil, political, economic, social, cultural, and collective group rights, while affirming specific individual duties toward the family, society, and the state.

This standalone publication offers direct access to the official charter provisions. It serves as an indispensable reference document for law students, legal practitioners, civil society organizations, policymakers, and researchers focusing on African jurisprudence, public international law, and human rights advocacy. A vital addition to any law library, academic institution, or civic collection across the continent.
