'This book is a valuable and useful addition to the literature, there not having been much by way of previous publication on the African Commission on Human and People's Rights. [...] The book can only add some hitherto obscured detail and evidence to this debate.'
International Journal on Minority and Group Rights, 1997.
'Ankumah's work will give the reader a better insight into the structure and mandate of the Commission, the procedures for examining complaints and the reporting procedure ... her book, which has provided a treatment of the African human rights system that has not been achieved before.'
