The African continent is faced with a number of regional obstacles but Okafor has contributed his well researched work to scholarship by documenting some of the critical issues in the area of international human rights which cannot be found anywhere else. With cited cases and examples of how the clauses of the African Charter of Human and People's Rights have been "invoked" by key players such as the executive, legislature, judiciary and civil society activists, Okafor concluded that even though the South African Constitution enjoins the courts to consider treaties such as the African Charter in their interpretation, there is not much reference to this treaty in South African judicial decisions.

This article examines the cultural-based critiques of the international human rights paradigm generally and children's rights in particular, with specific reference to Africa. In this regard, the paper attempts to identify gaps in the analyses of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. Towards that end, the paper proceeds in three parts. In the first section, it situates the discussion within the general framework of children's rights at international law. In the next section, it turns to an examination of the culture-based critiques of the idea of universal rights. Finally, in the fourth and fifth sections, it analyses the documents and literature that focus on the rights and welfare of the child. In the concluding section, the author raises several important questi...
