The African Charter on Human and Peoples‟ Rights (the Africa Charter), which is one of the constituents of the African human rights system, was adopted by the Assembly of Head of States and Governments of the OAU in 1981 and entered into force five years later in 1986. The African Charter covers a wider range of rights when compared to the other regional human rights instruments, such as the European and the Inter-American Human Rights Systems. As many writers indicated, the Africa Charter is designed to reflect the history, values, traditions, and development of Africa by joining collective rights and individual duties. The African Commission on Humans and Peoples‟ Rights (the Commission) is responsible for the enforcement of the African Charter. Currently, the African Charter has been ratified by 53 countries. South Africa has signed, ratified and deposited the Charter on 09 July 1996. http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ nf2012 Centre for Human Rights LLM 2012-04-24T07:55:40Z 2012-04-24T07:55:40Z 2011/10/30 Mini Dissertation Assefa, AG 2011/10/30, The impact of the African Charter on human and people's rights and the protocol on the rights of women on the South African Judiciary, LLM Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/18612> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/18612 en University of Pretoria application/pdf University of Pretoria
