Amnesty International remains concerned that there is a lack of progress in the African Union’s adoption process of the draft Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Abolition of the Death Penalty in Africa. The organization reiterates its call on the African Commission to publish its strategy for the resolution of the delay in the adoption process and urges the Commission to work effectively with all relevant organs of the African Union to ensure that the draft Protocol is successfully adopted by the African Union.
