国家元首和政府首脑在非洲联盟成立后七个月内通过了《非洲联盟组织法》的第一次修正案。本文对该法案第 4(h) 条（干预权）的扩大进行了法律分析，以防止“对合法秩序的严重威胁”。它认为，这一条款与其他干预理由不一致，其他干预理由的目的是在政府无法或不愿意这样做时保护非洲人民的人权免遭严重侵犯。相比之下，该修正案的目的是维护国家安全，而不是人类安全。本修正案和其他修正案改编自利比亚 2002 年德班提案，其背景是从对非洲联盟的政治影响角度考虑的。
Heads of State and Government passed the first amendments to the Constitutive Act of the African Union within seven months of the launch of the organization. This article provides a legal analysis of the broadening of Article 4(h) of the Act, the right of intervention, to prevent a “serious threat to legitimate order”. It argues that this clause is inconsistent with the other grounds for intervention, which aim to protect African peoples from grave violations of human rights when their governments are unable or unwilling to do so. The amendment, by contrast, aims to uphold state security, rather than human security. The context in which this and other amendments were adapted from proposals by Libya in Durban 2002 is considered in terms of political implications for the African Union.
