Abstract

The Organization of African Unity ceased to exist on July 8, 2002, and the African Union was born in Durban at a summit. It lays out the organization's fundamental values and goals. The African Unity’s successor organization will have a broad mandate: peace, security, and stability, as well as democracy, popular involvement, and good governance. The African Union will now be able to use all important means, including force, in the event of genocide or war crimes. "Respect for democratic principles, human rights, the rule of law, and good governance" are among the African Union's "principles," along with "condemnation and rejection of unconstitutional changes of governments" and, most notably, "the right of the Union to intervene in a Member State pursuant to a decision of the Assembly (of the Union, composed of heads of state and government) in respect of grudges." Furthermore, the African Union lists policy coordination and harmonization among regional economic communities as one of its goals. Our research involves a fact study and predictive analysis of key records and data connected to our research purpose, which has assisted us in drawing conclusions about the African Union's (AU) future, growth opportunities, and potential challenges.
