Today, on Africa Human Rights Day, we reflect on the rights and freedoms guaranteed under the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights. But protecting those rights also means asking how people can access #justice when those #rights are violated. On 26 October, join us and the @court_afchpr for "A Frank Talk with the Citizens," a virtual colloquium marking 20 years since the Court’s first judges were sworn in. How can access to the Court be improved? What can be done to strengthen state compliance with its decisions? What should the next 20 years look like? Bring your perspectives to this important discussion on the future of #humanrights protection in #Africa. 🗓️ 26 October 2026 🕚 18 AM (UTC) | 10 AM (CAT) | 11AM (EAT) 🌍 Interpretation in all six AU official languages. 🔗 Register here: zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_… #AfricaHumanRightsDay #AfricanCourtat20 #Agenda2063

Happy Africa Human Rights Day! Today marks the anniversary of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights entering into force on October 21, 1986. What makes the Charter distinctive is that it protects not only individual rights but also the rights of peoples, including the right to development and the right to a satisfactory environment. It also recognizes duties individuals have toward their families and communities. The Charter provides a shared African framework for protecting #humanrights, promoting human dignity and holding states accountable for their obligations. As we mark this day, we reaffirm the importance of ensuring that these #rights are respected and protected, not just in #law, but in practice. @achpr_cadhp #AfricaHumanRightsDay #AfricanCharter #HumanRightsDefenders #Agenda2063
