ACHPR RESOLVED TO FIGHT IMPUNITY
Ambassador Salamata Sawadogo, the chairperson of the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights is of the view that the arrest and indictment of Mr. Charles Taylor, former President of Liberia, constitutes the first step by the international community in the fight against the impunity of criminals.
Madam Sawadogo made this remark at the 39th Ordinary Session of the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights. She further posited that the African Commission remains resolved to pursue, indefatigably, its position of promotion and protection of human rights on the continent without yielding to the attempts of intimidation and the unkind remarks against members. She said the African Commission will contribute more effectively to a better promotion and protection of human rights in Africa.
