Olufemi Amao. African Union Law: The Emergence of a Sui Generis Legal Order [Recensão de livro]

Abstract

African Union Law: The Emergence of a Sui Generis Legal Order by Olufemi Amao is the first comprehensive work to take an in-depth look into the legal order of the African Union. The law derived from supranational organizations such as the United Nations or the European Union is well known and exhaustively studied, but the law originating from the African Union is largely unfamiliar to most legal scholars and practitioners. In this sense, Amao´s book offers a valuable contribution to that grey area of legal knowledge. It contributes to a discussion about the role of African organizations, mainly the African Union, in shaping the legal landscape of the continent. The book is divided into nine chapters which address a diverse selection of themes.
