Exciting news — African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights adopts new guiding principles on the rights of migrants! Our director Ian M. Kysel and team of experts, Luwam Dirar and Fatma Raach, has supported this effort with support from @BoschStiftung!

‘… concerns of women should not be confined to a separate protocol but rather ought to be at the heart of the #AfCFTA… What does inclusive #AfCFTA mean? What does the inclusion of women imply?’ Read Luwam Dirar on these questions & more ⬇️ afronomicslaw.org/category/analy…

It was an incredible honor to support the Commission in this work alongside Luwam Dirar and Fatma Raach and under the leadership of former Commissioner Maya Sahli Fadel. Many thanks to @BoschStiftung for the support to Migrant Rights Initiative which made that possible!
