"[On] 21 October 1986, the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights came into force. Each year on 21 October, Africa commemorates Africa Human Rights Day, a day to reflect and recommit to the solemn undertaking by African leaders and the African continent as a whole to promote and safeguard human rights in Africa. This edition of the Human Rights Bulletin gives an overview of the African Human Rights System and highlights the obligations of state parties under this system." (Quoted from article)
