Given the foregoing set up, it is apparent that Africa is a continent with a myriad of courts working both jointly and severally in their endeavours to promote and protect human rights at various levels of the justice machineries. These courts have several similarities as well as differences, basically reflected in terms of their guiding principles, procedures and practices. These diversities warrant the need to have a publication of this nature – that is, a publication that sets out the underlying legal instruments, principles, procedures and practices obtaining in these cases. This will enable the users of these courts to have a clear understanding of the respective roles of these courts in the promotion and protection of human rights in their respective jurisdictions.
