Question 1: What legal recourse is available to the victims of human rights abuses through regional systems in Africa? Compare and contrast the legal instruments providing the institutional framework for each system. What are the substantive and procedural requirements for filing petitions on the regional level?
Question 2: Are the procedural systems adequate to protect human rights in the region?
Question 3: Do regional human rights systems exist throughout the world? In Asia? The Middle East? Without regional systems, which organizations and institutions drive human rights discourse and accountability measures (when domestic remedies have been exhausted)?
