The Human Rights Law Index is a collection of international treaties and case law from African courts on topics relating to human rights.

Get started by selecting a topic from the drop-down menu on the left, and then select which jurisdiction you're interested in. Or, you can leave this section blank to see a cross-section of documents from across Africa.
