The African Centre for Democracy and Human Rights Studies (ACDHRS) is hosting the President of the National Human Rights Council of the Kingdom of Morocco (CNDH), Mr. Driss El Yazami on a two-day working visit to the ACDHRS and the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) from 31st October to 2nd November, 2018.
These meetings will allow to discuss the place occupied by the national human rights institutions (NHRIs) within the African human rights system, on the means to strengthen roles and partnership with human rights institutions and NGOs. It will also be a question of examining the means to continuously and optimally develop the achievements of actions with the ACHPR in particular and the African human rights system in general.
This visit comes after the Training of Trainers organized from 20 to 22 July 2018 in Rabat, Morocco in partnership with CNDH as local partner on the use of international human rights procedures for the promotion and protection of human rights in Africa.
The Training of Trainers (TOT) was an activity under the project ‘Consolidating civil society’s role in the transition from African human rights standards to practice’ funded by the European Commission and to be implemented by the International Commission for Jurists (European Institutions and Kenya branches), Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and the African Centre for Democracy and Human Rights Studies (ACDHRS).
