African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights Checklists for Law Reform Advocates

Description

ICNL is pleased to share two checklists developed to help people use the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) Guidelines on Freedom of Association and Assembly in Africa. The ACHPR adopted the Guidelines in 2017 to deepen understanding and compliance by States and other stakeholders with their obligations to promote and protect the freedoms of association and peaceful assembly.

WHAT TOPICS DO THE CHECKLISTS COVER?
• One checklist focuses on the freedom of association and the other on freedom of peaceful assembly.
• They highlight key issues to help confirm that national laws and provisions meet the Guidelines’ standards and identify provisions that may not fully protect the rights to association and assembly.
