Zusammenfassung

Die Afrikanische Union (AU) ist eine intergouvernementale Organisation, der alle Staaten Afrikas angehören und die vor allem in der Friedens- und Sicherheitspolitik aber auch in der Wirtschafts-, Handels-, Entwicklungs-, Gesundheits-, Klima- und Wissenschaftspolitik sowie der Förderung von Demokratie, Rechtsstaatlichkeit und Menschenrechten aktiv ist. Die AU-Mitgliedstaaten zeigen sich zwar kooperationswillig und haben der Organisation ein weitreichendes Mandat zur Intervention in Krisen gegeben, das diese auch nutzt. Gleichzeitig sind die Mitglieder jedoch zurückhaltend, Souveränität zu Gunsten der AU abzugeben. Deshalb und weil ihr die finanzielle Basis und die personelle Ausstattung fehlen, kann die AU nicht alle selbstgesteckten Ziele erfüllen.
