The African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and Environmental Rights Standards

Abstract

In this chapter, we investigate African regional human rights law, with specific reference to the environmental right in the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights, 1981 (ACHPR) and corresponding jurisprudence that might reveal the manifestation of standards related to a) the environment envisaged in this right, and b) the manner in which this right must be respected, protected, promoted and fulfilled. Where appropriate, we also refer to domestic environment-related rights provisions in some African countries in order to contextualise the analysis of African regional law and to illustrate, briefly, how its plays out at the domestic level.
