PART 2, SECTION 10 – STRATEGIES AND TOOLS � REGIONAL LEVEL

USING MODULE 28 IN A TRAINING PROGRAM

THE AFRICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN AND PEOPLES� RIGHTS AND ESC RIGHTS

GO TO SECTION I - MODULE 28
The purpose of Module 28 is to examine possibilities for activists to pursue enforcement of ESC rights through access to the African Commission on Human and Peoples� Rights

This module should help trainees understand/clarify for themselves:

  • ESC rights provisions in the African Charter on Human and Peoples� Rights; and
  • the African Commission�s monitoring and enforcement responsibilities.

Suggested Methods

The extent of presentation of this module would depend on the group.

�      Lecture: If the group is not from the African region, a simple lecture presentation on the African Commission on Human and Peoples� Rights would be sufficient.

�      Presentation: In the case of a group from the African region, it is important to provide them with information on the African Commission and how it can be effectively used for advancing ESC rights.� An individual who has experience in attending the meetings of the commission and who is familiar with its procedures should be invited to give a talk on the commission.
