Recenzii
'[I]t is certainly a most valuable contribution to the literature and will be of considerable practical value as working too for those involved in human rights promotion and protection in Africa, and beyond.' - Malcolm D. Evans, in: International and Comparative Law Quarterly, 2005.
'Ouguergouz-associate editor of the African Yearbook of International Law-has written a historically informed book with superb technical and comparative skill. [...] Ouguergouz has written a treatise that finely combines the policymaker's eye for technical details with the scholar's knack of making conceptual and comparative links and analyses that allow the reader to draw many and interesting connections. Although one may not agree with his conclusion that "the African Charter shows itself to be a balanced legal instrument" (p. 777), one would have to agree (and this reviewer certainly does) that the author has written a balanced and valuable book.' - Adeno Addis, in: The American Journal of International Law, Volume 98.
'Dr. Ouguergouz has embarked on a dedicated, systematic and well-researched undertaking designed to demonstrate that the African Charter deserves to be taken seriously. [...] The most fascinating dimension of the book is the focus on the work of the African Commission. The author goes to much length to shed light on the Commission's activities and procedures.' - Yoram Dinstein, in: Israel Yearbook of Human Rights, volume 34.
'This is a first class exposition on the law and practice of the African Charter, which is likely to become one of the texts of first reference for academics and practitioners alike.' - in: Interights Bulletin.
'The heart of the book – over 200 pages on the rights of individuals and peoples; duties of individuals; the implication of the absence of non-derogation clause; the responsibilities of the African Commission and the OAU Assembly of Heads of State and Government – is without doubt the most comprehensive legal analysis of the African Charter published to date.' - in: Human Rights Quarterly
'The great achievement of this book is to put all these questions into perspective, with the legal knowledge of a fine scholar and the political cleverness of a human rights militant.' - in: International and Comparative Law Quarterly
'In short, La Charte africaine des droits de l'homme et des peuples is an excellent piece of legal scholarship and an important contribution to the current debate on the nature and origins of human rights in Africa.' - in: American Journal of International Law 2004
