It goes without saying that the African continent has been characterized by massive human rights violations. Several reports by reputable human rights organizations have on numerous occasions documented the widespread violations of human rights throughout the continent, referring to a myriad of incidents that amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity and all manner of violence being meted against women, children and minority groups. It has also been argued quite often that the gross violations of human rights on the continent could be attributed to the shortcomings in the regional regime for the protection of human rights. It is against this backdrop that this essay seeks to look into the strengths and weaknesses of the African Human Rights System and the prevailing challenges in dealing with the massive human rights violations on the continent. The essay argues that while Africa has a relatively robust framework for promotion and protection of human rights, there are certain fundamental flaws in the system that have resulted in the increasing violations of human rights on the continent. The essay will begin with an elaborate overview of the African regional human rights system established under the auspices of the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights (ACHPR) in order to bring out the strengths and weaknesses manifest in the system. In due course, the essay will culminate in a discussion on the main challenges in dealing with serious human rights violations on the continent, which stem from the functional and institutional weaknesses of the system.
