It is very important to note that; the main human rights instrument in Africa is the 1981 African Charter on Human and People's rights and the main mechanisms are the African Commission on Human and people's Rights and the recently established African Court on Human and people's Rights .
In my opinion they have been succeeding because in recent years states cooperations have improved in ratifying most of these treaties and covenants. This was motivated by a handful of civil societies and courageous human rights activists.
In recent years democracy and has spread across the African continent to a remarkable extent, the vital importance of human rights for Africa's long term security and development has been gaining recognition as African national and inter-governmental institutions are now taking up rights issues .
