With these withdrawals, only six out of 31 state parties to the African Court Protocol fully remain subject the Court&#8217;s jurisdiction. Giving the relevance of this issue for the consolidation and future of the African Court, the present article addresses the context in which the withdrawals took place and their implications for the protection of human rights in Africa.]]></p></abstract>

Con estos retiros, solamente seis de 31 estados parte del Protocolo de la Corte Africana se mantienen completamente sujetos a la jurisdicción de la Corte. Tomando en consideración la relevancia de este tema para la consolidación y el futuro de la Corte Africana, el presente artículo aborda el contexto en que los retiros tuvieron lugar y sus implicaciones para la protección de los derechos humanos en África.]]></p></abstract>
