It is the goal of this volume to provide a comprehensive work which addresses the institution of the AU, its organs and structures, the scope of its operations, its legal framework and the normative standards underpinning its objectives and functions or those underlying the conventions, charters, and protocols it has enacted or inherited from its predecessor, the OAU. This was not conceived as a scholarly treatise, but as a manual to serve as a basic introduction to the institutional and legal framework of the AU and its affiliated organization. It is meant to offer a concise and clear picture of the nature and workings of a continental institution aimed not only at promoting peace and unity in Africa but also at ensuring human security, development, human rights protection and good governance for the peoples of Africa.
