Amnesty International has worked for decades to document cases of widespread forced evictions and lack of effective remedies for victims. Considering the seriousness and scale of forced evictions in the context of conservation in Africa, Amnesty International encourages the African Commission to consider developing principles on the promotion and protection of human rights in the context of wildlife conservation in Africa. Amnesty International also suggests that the African Commission develops principles on prevention of and protection against forced evictions in Africa.
