Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
(1) notes that today, 21 October, marks African Human Rights Day and the celebration of the 24th year after the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (African Charter) entered into force;
(2) further notes that the African Charter created the first regional human rights framework for Africa and, through the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, is able to hold governments accountable for their human rights obligations;
(3) acknowledges that although Africa has made a lot of progress in the promotion and protection of human rights over the past 24 years, including the respect for democratic principles, human rights, the rule of law and principles of good governance, millions of people in Africa are still denied ..
