The African Union has left its mark on the continent, although most observers agree that there is still room for improvement, Notably, the Commission has also developed legal guidance on how to implement many key human rights which is set out in the African Charter and other human rights treaties and documents such as the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa.
