From the Conclusion:
"In conclusion we hope that we have presented a clear picture of the legislative and judicial guarantees which obtain in the Great Jamahiriya in respect of the rights and
basic liberties of the individual in civil, political, economic, social and cultural considerations. These are in line with what the charter requires the states party to it. Our review also ..emphasises the fact that the African Charter on human and people’s rights should be totally implemented and incooperated into this legislation."
