Abstract:
The African Charter on Human and Peoples’
Rights (African Charter) requires states to submit,
every two years, reports on legislative and
other measures taken to give effect to the rights
protected in the Charter (article 62). To this end,
the African Commission on Human and Peoples’
Rights (African Commission) set up a working
group tasked with drafting reporting guidelines
to help states provide relevant information.
The working group has recently developed draft
State Reporting Guidelines for Economic, Social
and Cultural Rights in the African Charter
on Human and Peoples’ Rights (state reporting
guidelines).
