A Human Rights Defenders' Guide to the African Commission

In 2012, ISHR and the Institute for Human Rights and Development in Africa launched A Human Rights Defenders' Guide to the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights.

The publication is intended as a practical resource for human rights defenders in Africa. It analyses the progress the Commission has made in the last twenty years in seeking to assist human rights defenders, though its case law, statements, urgent appeals and resolutions.
