In this article the author elaborates upon the close relationship between the concepts of human rights and development, examined in relation to African legal practice. Development is considered as a comprehensive legal, economic, social, and cultural concept. According to the author the right to development may be claimed by individuals and peoples of developing nations. In this respect the African situation is carefully analyzed by the author. The African Charter for Human and Peoples Rights, which came into force in October, 1986, may be considered a first regional effort to promote human rights and development. So far, the Charter has already been ratified by 30 African States
