Kenya is a sovereign state in East Africa, recognized as a member of the United Nations and a signatory to numerous international treaties and agreements. As such, it is bound by the principles and norms of international law, which regulate the conduct of states in their relations with one another and with other actors in the international system.
Kenya has ratified several international human rights treaties, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. These treaties oblige the state to respect, protect, and fulfill the rights of its citizens, and to ensure that its laws and policies are in line with international human rights standards.
In addition, Kenya is party to several international conventions and protocols related to environmental protection, maritime law, and international trade. These agreements help to ensure that Kenya’s natural resources are conserved and managed sustainably and that its businesses operate within a fair and transparent international trading system.
Kenya also participates actively in international organizations such as the African Union, the East African Community, and the United Nations. Through these forums, Kenya engages with other states to promote regional and global cooperation, and to address common challenges such as climate change, terrorism, and the spread of infectious diseases.
