It is true that this kind of phenomenon is predominant in this continent. However, we need to give attention to a significant fact: Africa established the Organization of African Unity in 1981 along with its own African Charter on Human Rights and Peoples' Rights that has been enforced since October in 1986. Africa has a more developed structure of Human Rights than Asia.
African continent composed of some 58 countries is characterized by diversity in culture, language, ideology among different countries. That means each country has its own value system, tradition, cultural heritagy, economic structure, and government system. It is diversified from a monarchial system to democracy, various forms of military regimes and the recent apartheid of the Republic of South Africa. Because of volatile political situation, frequent change of governments is not unusual either by military forces or by civilians. The national tensions among several civic groups are often connected to an internecine struggle and they are the cause of the influence of colonialism which ignored racial and regional characteristics while establishing national borders of different countries.
