AU Audit Report
At the AU Summit in July, 2007 it was argued that while “all member states accept the United States of Africa as a common and a desirable goal”, the Executive Council recommended an audit review of the state of the Union to identify the areas where significant improvement has to be made to accelerate the African integration process. The High-Level panel to review the African Union presented its final report, AUDIT_REPORT.doc, for discussion and adoption at last week’s Executive Council meeting in Addis Ababa. However, a decision was once again postponed as it was agreed that African Foreign Ministers should hold an extraordinary meeting in three months for decision on implementation of the recommendations of the panel, thus further delaying final decision until at least the next AU Summit in July 2008.
