Contents: An online resource maintained by the University of Minnesota, the African Human Rights Resource Center strives to be a comprehensive repository of documents pertaining to human rights in Africa, both sub-Saharan and Northern. Here is found documentation from many African-centered human rights commissions and the Organization of African Unity, texts of treaties, charters, scores of links to Africa-related websites (country or content-specific). Treaties are searchable by subject or keyword. Most documents are from the 1990s; a few are earlier. Researchers looking for the breadth of human rights issues in Africa will certainly want to examine this website.
