This paper presents a brief introduction to the tenants of the Banjul Charter, procedures and areas of divergence. It examines the rationale behind keeping the proceedings of relevant bodies confidential. It critically analyses the achievements of some African states in implementing human rights and their relationships with the OAU, and provides a view of what future role the AU might play in the protection process. Finally it assesses the chances for effective implementation of the treaty under the African system. The author argues that in accordance with UN policies regional protection of human rights should improve, and supplement the international protection provided by the UN; and that both levels of protection will therefore be strengthened.
