The Executive Director of the Africa n Center for Democracy Human and Rights Studies , Hannah Forster has said promotion and protection of human rights remain a collective responsibility.
Through this initiative, a good number of NGOs have been made aware of the existence of the ACHPR and its special mechanisms and their mandates, and it has also led to the engagement of many individuals and or organisations to engage with the human right system. "Surely, together State and non-State actors can achieve a great deal more when they collaborate and support each other in this noble process," Madam Forster said.
Justice Aishatou Jallow Sey on behalf of the Chief Justice of the Gambia, Hassan Jallow, said education stands as the cornerstone of development, democracy and human rights. She said education is not merely a path to personal advancement, but a fundamental right and a collective responsibility. She said education is not a luxury, but a catalyst for sustainable development and social cohesion, adding that it empowers individuals in claiming for their rights; challenges injustice and contributes meaningfully to the building of communities.
