This year marks the 25th anniversary since the adoption of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the 20th anniversary of its entry into force. The African Union Commission is organizing a colloquium on the African Charter on 30 June 2006, ahead of the 7th Ordinary Session of the AU Assembly. This document includes Amnesty International’s recommendations which the AU meeting in Banjul should consider in its Declaration on the African Charter, which is expected to be submitted to the AU Assembly.
