"This book examines the work of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), established in 1963, and presents a critical analysis, from a legal perspective, of the principal issues relating to it. First published in 1989, it has been extensively revised to take account of the significant developments and dramatic changes throughout Africa in the last decade, and the progress made across various fronts, such as the end of apartheid in South Africa, the independence of Namibia and Eritrea, the establishment of the African Economic Community in 1991, and the protection of human rights, including the creation of a Court on Human Rights. There is also a new chapter on environmental law, and the chapter on economic law has been rewritten to focus on the African Economic Community. The chapter on human rights has been extensively expanded."--BOOK JACKET.

"Gino Naldi's key text will be welcomed by all scholars, policy makers and practitioners interested in the OAU and the positive and negative features of modern Africa it addreses."--BOOK JACKET.
