Conclusion on First Question

The general concept of human rights in Africa is not something new. It has been there for quite sometime, infact before their independence from British. It is only the legal concept that are a late bloomer. Therefore the standard of human rights in this continent is still low if compared to other countries in this world. Until today the people of Africa is still fighting for their freedom, equality, justice and dignity whether in civil or political rights. They are still surviving for their basic needs despite of the substained economic growth in Africa over these past years. This is due mainly to political repressions that have been going on for centuries all over the nations.

Africa is ongoing process to change their political system and although the number of countries that had adopted democracy has increased but there are still been haunted by the aparteid system which have been dominated Africa for years. Most leaders still rule their subjects using their own laws thus making the implementation of international laws a hard work. Cruel rules and poverty making people depressed. Demonstrations and conflicts are everywhere and happened almost everyday. People are fighting for their lives and needs and sometimes will do just about anything to achieve it.

Realizing that human rights is a world's problem, United Nation are working with a few non-government organizations in Africa to promote a better implementation of human rights according to The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The African Commission on Human and People's Rights which came later were part of this motion. Under this comission they urge the leaders and people of Africa to unite and working on achieving a better conditions and life for everyone. The draft of human rights' laws in Africa were based on their traditonal values and cultures so that it will charter everyone's needs regardless of their nationality, sex, race, religion, language and other differences.
