Abstract: | In June 1998, the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the OAU adopted the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Establishment of an African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights. The adoption of this Protocol provides a unique opportunity to make the African human rights system work in a more energetic way. This paper deals, briefly, with some aspects of the future relationship between the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights and the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights under the following headings: the protective mandate; interpretations and advisory opinions; rules of procedure; the African Union and the future of the African human rights system.
