AfricLaw.com: Restrictions on the operation of civil society organizations in Africa violate freedom of association

Posted on June 13, 2012

 

Article 23 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 22 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and article 8 of the International Covenant on Economic and Social Cultural Rights all guarantee the right to freedom of association. Most African countries have ratified these international conventions and are therefore bound to comply with the provisions of the conventions. Often, however, governments violate the provisions of the conventions.
