The APU, founded in 1976, aims to promote unity of action among the parliamentary institutions of African states; to establish itself as a forum for the national parliaments of the African continent and as an instrument of parliamentary dialogue and cooperation in the service of peace, democracy, good governance and sustainable development.
The organisation also aims to work towards the progressive establishment of a true African legal community based on the political, economic, social and cultural realities of the continent, as well as to promote contacts between African parliamentarians on the one hand, and between African parliamentarians and those from the rest of the world on the other.
