The African Human Rights Yearbook invites submissions for articles related to the African Union theme of the Year 2024: ‘Educate an African fit for the 21st century: Building resilient education systems for increased access to inclusive, lifelong, quality, and relevant learning in Africa’, of no more than 10,000 words, footnotes included, to be submitted by 15 September 2024. Authors are encouraged to explore, among others, ways in which the African human rights system has fostered a propitious environment for the implementation of the right to education especially for vulnerable and marginalised groups and communities, women, children; the role of human rights education as well as the relevance of the three African human rights bodies in advancing the right to education.
The African Human Rights Yearbook also invites submissions for case discussions/commentaries of recent decisions of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights (African Court), the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (African Commission), and the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (Committee) of no more than 8,000 words, footnotes included, to be submitted by 15 September 2024. Case discussions/commentaries may be on a single decision, or on the case law of one of the three organs, or provide perspectives on the case law of the three organs, jointly (by for example looking into cross-cutting jurisprudential issues, and complementarity). Authors should consult recent decisions and judgments of the Commission, the Court and the Committee on their respective websites to review recent jurisprudential developments these bodies have made.
