About The Book

Business and Human Rights Law and Practice in Africa (2022), edited by Damilola S. Olawuyi and Oyeniyi Abe, offers a comprehensive analysis of the evolving landscape of business and human rights (BHR) across the African continent. The book examines the implementation of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) within African legal frameworks, highlighting both progress and challenges. It delves into sector-specific issues such as mining, extractives, climate change, taxation, and indigenous rights, providing insights into how businesses can respect human rights in these contexts. The volume also addresses access to remedy for victims of corporate-related human rights violations, exploring the role of national and regional courts in facilitating justice. Concluding with a call for coherent and holistic legal responses, the book advocates for the integration of human rights considerations into all aspects of development planning and decision-making across Africa.
