Abstract:
In this chapter, Frans Viljoen explores the relationship between international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law (IHRL) in the African human rights system. The chapter deals with the fledgling attempts as well as the future potential of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the African Committee of Experts on the Rights of the Child to apply IHL either indirectly through interpretation or in a more direct manner.
