OUVRAGE : F. Viljoen, H. Sipalla, F. Adegalu (eds.), Exploring African approaches to international law: Essays in honour of Kéba Mbaye

Frans VILJOEN, Humphrey SIPALLA, Foluso ADEGALU

It is unfortunate that the idea that Africa contributes to international law, and has always done so, remains (in 2022) largely a side note, an auxiliary approach, rather than something widely accepted and deeply entrenched. It is cause for pause that this is also true in Africa itself. Exploring African approaches to international law: Essays in honour of Kéba Mbaye is a volume of essays that aims to contribute to a larger effort of imagining what possible approaches to international law Africa has adopted in the decades since the 1960s. It also recognises the legacy of the great Senegalese jurist Kéba Mbaye.

OUVRAGE : F. Viljoen, C. Fombad, D. Tladi, A. Skelton, M. Killander (eds.), A life interrupted. Essays in honour of the lives and legacies of Christof Heyns

Frans VILJOEN, Charles FOMBAD, Dire TLADI, Ann SKELTON, Magnus KILLANDER

This volume of essays, A life interrupted: essays in honour of the lives and legacies of Christof Heyns, honours Christof Heyns, renowned human rights lawyer, advocate, activist and educator, but also down-to-earth family man, friend and colleague. Christof ’s sudden and most untimely passing on 28 March 2021 deeply saddened those close to him but also evinced an outpouring of grief from the national and international human rights community. His passing brought a deep sense of loss, in part because, at age 62, he was fully engaged in contributing to the betterment of society and still had so much more to give. His is a life interrupted. But at the same time, looking back over the varied lives he lived, he had already left his mark in so many ways. His influences and impacts are manifold and magical. This collection not only testifies to the legacy that he has left us, but also to the ongoing efforts of many to continue building on his legacy.

REVUE : African Yearbook of Human Rights / Annuaire africain des droits de l'homme (vol. 4, 2020)

Frans VILJOEN, Trésor Makunya MUHINDO, Janet GBAM 

This fourth volume of the African Human Rights Yearbook comes at a time when humanity and particularly our continent is facing new health, economic and humanitarian challenges arising from the outbreak and persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Africa’s human rights situation, which already gave cause for concern, has seriously deteriorated, thus shaking the progress made here and there, including the very foundations of our systems for protection and promotion of human and peoples’ rights. This adverse reality that we have to deal with has, in many respects, weakened the momentum of the institutions working for the development and well-being of Africans and eroded the hopes of peoples in the protection of their rights and respect for their dignity.
