Human Rights and Conflict Management
The Centre for Conflict Resolution (CCR), based in Cape Town, South Africa, is hosting a two-hour panel discussion on Human Rights and Conflict Management at Ezulwini Sun Hotel in Ezulwini, Swaziland, from 19h00 to 21h00 on 5 May 2008.
The panel discussion will draw participants from civil society organisations, national human rights institutions (NHRIs), and other organisations attending the Forum on the Participation of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in the 43rd Ordinary Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights.
The panel discussion will focus on highlighting the linkages between human rights and conflict prevention and resolution. The role that institutions such as the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, NHRIs, and human rights NGOs play in preventing conflict and building sustainable peace in Africa will also be explored. The meeting will further provide an opportunity to introduce CCR’s forthcoming book on Africa’s Human Rights Architecture.
Refreshments will be served after the meeting.
