Landmark study of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, one of the most important documents in modern African history, that positions it within the African Lives Matter struggle to assert an African identity rather than as simply a human rights document.
The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) was the first non-Western declaration of human rights. This 2 volume set, for the first time, presents a comprehensive account of the development of the ACHPR, key to a proper understanding of its fundamental nature. Volume 1 outlines the dominant African political and cultural ideas upon which the OAU (now African Union) was founded. Volume 2 describes the process through which the ACHPR came into being.

This is a work of major importance. Rubner has conducted interviews with many key players (most now deceased) and has made good use of much hitherto unused archival material in Addis Ababa and Dakar. It is certain that the Charter's origins can never be understood in the same way again. These volumes are essential for anyone interested in the subject.
