In 1998, the African Union adopted a Protocol establishing an African Court on Human and Peoples´ Rights. It took six years for the protocol to be ratified, but as of January 2004, for the first time, Africa was endowed by a human rights institution whose decisions are legally binding on State Parties. "The Road to Justice: Towards an Accessible and Effective African Court on Human Rights" advocates for widespread ratification of the Protocol, and for NGO’s and individuals to be granted direct access. Accompanied by a comprehensive booklet on steps to achieve ratification and the importance of an effective Court.
