Abstract
This Paper examines the possible influence of the International Labour
Organization (ILO) on the African Charter. It argues that (based on some
indications herein) that the ILO and some of its standards and procedures may
have influenced some portions of the African Charter as a right document. And
that the guarantee of some labour rights and other obligations by state members
in the Charter seems to suggest a possible influence of the ILO on it. Several
factors were used to support this assertion amongst which are: the African
Charter has been empowered to adhere to the principles of human and peoples'
rights and freedoms contained in the declarations, conventions and other
instrument adopted by the United Nations (the ILO being one of its specialised
agencies); earlier existence of the ILO (since 1919) and some other obligations
prescribed for state members of the ILO, same obligations and procedures which
are also in the African Charter.
