The Banjul Charter is how the African Commission in Human and Peoples’ Rights came to be. All twenty-nine articles under the charter go into great detail on rights and freedoms that follows a code of non-discrimination. The support and excitement in European human rights systems allowed the creation of this commission and other courts in Africa. The commission opened it’s doors in 1987 with promises of the protection and evolution of Africa’s human rights. The Commission was placed under heavy burdens as they tried to complete activities for the countries. The continent is heavily influenced by colonialism, has a weak government, and a declining economy. The support and excitement in European human rights systems allowed the creation of this commission and other courts in Africa. The commission opened it’s doors in 1987 with promises of the protection and evolution of Africa’s human rights. The ACHPR is the only human rights committee that allows its members to not participate in voting on a particular matter.

Mandate[edit]
The Commission has three broad areas of responsibility:


 * Promoting human and peoples' rights
 * Protecting human and peoples' rights
 * Interpreting the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights

In pursuit of these goals, the Commission is mandated to "collect documents, undertake studies and researches on African problems in the field of human and peoples, rights, organise seminars, symposia and conferences, disseminate information, encourage national and local institutions concerned with human and peoples' rights and, should the case arise, give its views or make recommendations to governments" (Charter, Art. 45).

With the creation of the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights (under a protocol to the Charter which was adopted in 1998 and entered into force in January 2004), the Commission will have the additional task of preparing cases for submission to the Court's jurisdiction. In a July 2004 decision, the AU Assembly resolved that the future Court on Human and Peoples' Rights would be integrated with the African Court of Justice. In 2011, the commission brought before the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights a case against Libya.

African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights
I chose the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights because I do not know much about Africa’s government. When I found the article I was surprised to find so little about the Commission especially since it seems to be doing a lot for the continent. Women and children are most affected by this organization. This is because many countries in Africa are still affected by misogyny and ageism within their community. The overall community will be improved by positive laws made by this government organization. I would like to add some more information on the beginning of the Commision. There was some information but not enough to show how much it has made an impact on the giver. I would also like to add some information on how the Commission is creating new laws for the greater good of women and children’s and abiding by their human rights. This topic has a lot more to offer then what was already found on the page.
