ABSTRACT
This chapter continues with the overall goal of this book: exploring solutions to the control of multinational corporations (MNCs) at the domestic level with complementary mechanisms at regional and international levels. The aim of this chapter is to examine the African human rights system as a case study at the regional level, to evaluate how it has impacted on the control of MNCs and to examine its potential for the future. The theme of the chapter is important because it focuses on a heretofore under-explored avenue for the control of MNCs. The chapter concedes that the African human rights system is relatively young and cannot provide all the solutions to the numerous issues surrounding the control of MNCs in the continent. However, it is strongly suggested that the regional human rights system's emerging approach to state responsibility could galvanise the weak host states to be more effective because of its emerging approach to state responsibility.
