About this statute

This article defines key terms used in the Pact, including acts of subversion, aggression, destabilization, dispute, human security, member states, state party, and several AU bodies and related concepts. The Pact sets peace and security objectives and says the Union may intervene or authorize intervention to prevent or address aggression. State Parties must settle disputes peacefully, avoid force, build peaceful relations, promote sustainable development, protect worship and minority rights, and prevent genocide and crimes against humanity. State Parties must help each other defend against aggression, respond to threats against member states, not recognize territorial gains from aggression, and work toward an African Army and standby force. State Parties must cooperate against terrorism and transnational crime, prevent their territory and people from being used for hostile acts, and prohibit certain armed-group and terrorist activity on their territory.
