Este artigo debruça-se sobre a proteção do direito ao
desenvolvimento no sistema africano de direitos humanos e no
ordenamento jurídico dos Países Africanos de Língua Oficial Portuguesa
(PALOP). O artigo parte da análise da proteção do direito ao
desenvolvimento no sistema regional Africano de proteção dos direitos
humanos e depois analisa até que ponto esse direito foi incorporado na
legislação dos PALOP. O principal instrumento regional analisado foi a Carta
Africana dos Direitos Humanos e dos Povos tendo sido feita também á
análise da jurisprudência da Comissão Africana dos Direitos Humanos e dos
Povos e do Tribunal Africano de Direitos Humanos e dos Povos na sua
aplicação das normas contidas na Carta Africana relativamente à proteção
do direito ao desenvolvimento. A análise mostra que o direito ao
desenvolvimento é expressamente reconhecido e têm caráter vinculativo no
sistema africano dos direitos humanos. Já, nas constituições dos PALOP o
direito ao desenvolvimento não goza de reconhecimento expresso. Todavia,
no quadro jurídico dos PALOP, a adesão dos Estados membros à Carta
Africana e o recurso à doutrina dos direitos fundamentais implícitos
traduzemse no reconhecimento do direito ao desenvolvimento. Assim, o
artigo conclui alegando existência de um direito fundamental ao
desenvolvimento reconhecido no ordenamento jurídico dos PALOP e pela
subsequente obrigatoriedade de efetivar o gozo e fruição do direito em
causa.
This article deals with the protection of the right to development in the African human rights system and in the jurisdiction of Portuguese-speaking countries in Africa (PALOP). The article starts with an analysis of the protection of the right to development in the African regional human rights system. It then analyses the extent to which this right has been incorporated in the legal order of PALOP. The main regional instrument assessed is the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights. Moreover, the article examines the jurisprudence of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights and jurisprudence of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights in its application of the provisions in the African Charter that speak to the protection of the right to development. The analysis shows that the right to development is expressly recognised and attributed with binding force in the African human rights system. Differently, the right to development is not explicitly recognised in the constitutions of PALOP. However, these countries recognise the right to development as a fundamental right by adherence to the African Charter and through the application of the doctrine of implied rights in force in their respective jurisdictions. The conclusion reiterates that the right to development is recognised in the jurisdiction of PALOP stating that these countries have a subsequent duty to ensure the realisation and enjoyment of the right under analysis.
