The Human Rights Law Index is a collection of international treaties and case law from African courts on topics relating to human rights. The case selection aims to provide a snapshot of human rights law in a country, as well as within the African Union. The index currently covers over 1000 documents.
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.
