Facilitation
of Transport and Trade in Sub-Saharan Africa
A
Review of International Legal Instruments
 |
Main
Text |
|
| |
This review could be described as a corpus
or inventory of agreements or legal instruments
aimed at facilitating trade and transport
within Sub-Saharan Africa and between countries
of the region. The Sub-Saharan states' position
with regard to the various multilateral
or bilateral agreements is presented and
discussed.
This
review reveals that efforts to facilitate
trade and the flow of traffic with and within
Sub-Saharan African States are real. It
also reveals that access to and ratification
of basic worldwide agreements on trade and
facilitation is neither systematic nor even.
It also shows some discrepancies between
agreements. This work will hopefully contribute
to a better harmonization and consistency
between them.

This
section contains the text of the legal instruments
relating to the facilitation and freedom
of movement of persons and vehicles enforceable
in the Africa Region. These legal agreements
fall under three main categories, worldwide,
regional and sub-regional.
The
list of legal instruments is by no means
exhaustive and we encourage readers to submit
missing or new instruments to the SSATP.
