Abstract
This paper reports on a training workshop and seminar on human and peoples' rights held in Banjul, Gambia, in November 1989. The author, Khadija Elmadmad, notes that despite nearly three decades of independence for most African states, human rights violations remain widespread across the continent. The entry into force of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights in 1986 and the establishment of the African Commission on Human Rights in 1987 were significant milestones, but effective protection remains a distant goal. The workshop and seminar, organized by the African Association of International Law with support from Scandinavian countries and the EEC, addressed human rights training and the role of the judiciary in Africa.
