This is a large collection of 89 short essays on the utility of the Catholic theology for life, in times of radical changes.

- Abstract:
The development of the African legal system is at the core of this work, which aims at explaining the relationship between political, social and cultural rights and the African Charter of the Rights of Men and Peoples. Assessing the impact of the African Charter supposes a precise description of how national regimes contribute to the human rights. Prior to the Charter, civil and political rights were more important than socio-economic and cultural rights. It is the theoretical and practical aim of this book to show the evolution of this situation. Dr Eze shows that the primary responsibility of national institutions and agents of law enforcement is as important, in the management of human and peoples 'rights, as the input of the regional courts or the mandate of the Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights.

- Abstract:
Le droit de vote est un droit consacré par le droit international et par les constitutions nationales. Il garantit le droit des citoyens d'être consultés, de prendre part à la direction des aff aires publiques et à la gestion du pays. Il vise le droit de s'exprimer, de se réunir et de s'associer librement avec d'autres citoyens. La composition exacte du corps électoral, le droit de contester en justice le résultat du vote, la constatation exacte du résultat du scrutin et le respect des conditions d'éligibilité et des incompatibilités sont également essentiels. Pour être eff ective, une mise en œuvre par le législateur et une protection par le juge sont présentées et analysées par l'auteur, qui montre des cas jurisprudentiels de violation du droit de vote. Ce livre ambitionne de dresser, dans sa globalité, l'ensemble des règlements judiciaires des conflits électoraux, abordé à partir des ressorts conceptuels du droit comparé. Il offre un large éventail d'outils de jurisprudence au juriste engagé dans la protection du droit de vote.

- Abstract:
Worship places – churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, shrines and many others – are a key feature in most religions, a part of cultural heritage with a high symbolic and emotional value attached to them. Unfortunately, as a consequence of armed conflict or actions by radical nationalists, worship places are often targeted to inflict damage and eradicate identity. For this reason, national and international laws exist to award special protection to such places. This collection of essays explores the relevance the protection of religious sites has in implementing the freedom of religion or belief and in fostering peaceful relations among different religions.

Le présent ouvrage fait suite au volume précédant qui présente la vocation universelle des droits de la personne dans le droit et dans la pratique internationale. La promotion et la protection des droits et des obligations démocratiques en droit international africain est la voie proposée pour une continentalisation de la démocratie en Afrique ainsi que leurs réponses idoines. En contribuant à la promotion et à l'intériorisation par les africains et surtout leurs dirigeants des principes et des valeurs des droits humains, plus particulièrement des droits et obligations démocratiques, ces principes permettront, selon l'auteur, l'ancrage et la maîtrise des mécanismes et textes juridiques adoptés par l'ensemble de ces États pour garantir leur effectivité.
