The African Children’s Charter is an authentically African-drafted instrument, not a Western import.

Evidence

The 1990 African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child — adopted by the Organisation of African Unity on July 11, 1990, entered into force November 29, 1999 — is the foundational continental instrument. The Charter is the African regional counterpart to the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It was drafted by African jurists, adopted by African heads of state, and ratified by African governments. It is not a Western import. It is an African document, produced by African institutions, for African children. — , The Rod and the Child, 4779
