Abstract:
To a considerable extent, all African states are already obliged, under international law, to protect
widows and orphans, including their rights to property and inheritance. These obligations are increased,
in some cases, where the parents are victims of HIV/AIDS. This article surveys and comments on this
area of international law, with particular reference to Rwanda, Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda.
