ABSTRACT That international organizations have always played a pivotal role in the development and advancement of data privacy norms is now beyond doubt. With regard to advancing compliance specifically, the role of international organizations cannot be overemphasized. Although data privacy is no longer new to Africa, compliance with data privacy norms has been significantly lower compared to other jurisdictions. A (possible) explanation for this is that the primary regional organization on the continent – the African (AU) – has played an insignificant role in this regard. Related to this explanation is the usual contention that the absence of a settled normative standard is a reason for the low level of compliance. Since there is now a continental data privacy standard in Africa - the AU Data Protection Convention - the question remains why is compliance still low. Therefore, using insights from the normative and institutional theories of state compliance with international norms, the article examines why there is still a low compliance rate. The article then suggests how to strengthen the AU towards advancing compliance with data privacy norms on the continent.

为非洲联盟提供“牙齿”以促进遵守数据隐私规范
摘要 现在,国际组织在数据隐私规范的发展和推进中一直发挥着举足轻重的作用,这一点毋庸置疑。在具体推进履约方面,国际组织的作用再怎么强调也不为过。尽管数据隐私对非洲来说不再陌生,但与其他司法管辖区相比,数据隐私规范的遵守情况明显较低。对此的一个(可能的)解释是,非洲大陆的主要区域组织——非洲(AU)——在这方面发挥了微不足道的作用。与这种解释相关的是通常的论点,即缺乏固定的规范标准是合规水平低的原因。由于非洲现在有一个大陆数据隐私标准——非盟数据保护公约——问题仍然是为什么合规性仍然很低。因此,本文利用国家遵守国际规范的规范和制度理论的见解,研究了为什么遵守率仍然很低。然后,文章建议如何加强非盟以促进遵守非洲大陆的数据隐私规范。
