STUDY ECONOMY AND FINANCE TARIFFS AND HUMAN RIGHTS A Pilot Analysis of the AfCFTA Tariff Schedules Guillaume Gérout and Anaïs Cren-Larvor January 2024 Tariff schedules are not com­monly analysed from a human rights angle. This paper presents a pilot approach and seeks to deepen the discussion regarding similar analytical tools. The negotiation of tariffs and resulting tariff schedules are essential aspects of trade liberalisation of goods. When developing their initial tariff offers, states should ensure that a comprehensive consulta­tive process is put in place. Governments need to pay par­ticular attention to the right to food when specifying their tariff schedules. The right to food is directly linked to the agriculture sector in trade policy terms.
