This groundbreaking book offers a comprehensive examination of effective strategies for advancing business and human rights norms across Africa. It delves into the latest developments in law, regulations, policies, and governance structures across the continent, with a particular focus on key legal innovations aimed at addressing the human rights impacts of business operations and activities. Featuring insightful contributions from esteemed scholars and practitioners, the book provides a thorough survey of the diverse regulatory and institutional gaps that hinder the coherent development and application of business and human rights law and practice at national and regional levels in Africa.

Chapters explore practical challenges to effective implementation, explore innovative approaches to overcoming these barriers, and examine the local contexts for the implementation of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in Africa. Thematic sections offer conceptual and theoretical insights on how African countries can effectively mainstream human rights standards and considerations into all aspects of development planning and decision-making.

Business and Human Rights Law and Practice in Africa serves as a vital resource for academics, practitioners, policy makers, and students in the fields of governance, human rights, corporate law, and public international law. It provides valuable guidance and principles for integrating human rights into project design and implementation, making it an essential tool for corporate bodies and financial institutions seeking to engage in responsible and rights-based business practices in Africa.
