As democratic practices and the protection of human rights struggle to become rooted in Africa, and more institutions dealing with human rights on the continent are being established, the African Human Rights Law Journal records and interprets developments in this area. The Journal deals with topics relating to human rights that are of relevance to Africa, Africans and scholars of Africa. In the process, the African Human Rights Law Journal hopes to contribute towards a jurisprudence rooted in African soil. The Journal appears twice a year. Recent articles have dealt with the death penalty; corruption; the rights of the child; the new partnership for African Development. A peer edited journal. Published by Juta Law.
