ABSTRACTThe course starts by giving the origins and the evolution of Pan-Africanism. It explains how, in the nineteenth century, international law was framed as a Eurocentric public law, the jus publicum Europaeum which did encounter Pan-Africanism, and put aside human rights and human dignity in its way to treat people of Africa.The second phase of Pan-Africanism gained its roots in newly independent African States, who arrived on the international scene as subjects of international law. They reinforced this new status under the United Nations Charters and by collaborating with Asia and Latin American countries.The development of State-centered Pan Africanism is then studied through the Organization of African Unity and the African Union. Through these organizations, a certain public law of Africa has emerged, leading to innovative rules, and to new relations between the African system and international law.
RÉSUMÉLe cours commence par donner les origines et l'évolution du panafricanisme. Il explique comment, au XIXe siècle, le droit international a été conçu comme un droit public eurocentrique, le jus publicum Europaeum, qui s'est heurté au panafricanisme et a mis de côté les droits de l'homme et la dignité humaine pour traiter les Africains.La deuxième phase du panafricanisme a pris racine dans les États africains nouvellement indépendants, qui sont arrivés sur la scène internationale en tant que sujets de droit international. Ils ont renforcé ce nouveau statut dans le cadre des chartes des Nations unies et en collaborant avec les pays d'Asie et d'Amérique latine.Le développement du panafricanisme centré sur l'État est ensuite étudié via l'Organisation de l'unité africaine et l'Union africaine. A travers ces organisations, un certain droit public africain a émergé, conduisant à des règles innovantes, et à de nouvelles relations entre le système africain et le droit international.
