To: Permanent Representatives to the UN Human Rights Council 31
22 civil society organisations working throughout Africa write to the Chairperson of the African Union Commission to express our disappointment and concern at the reports of the decision of the African Union (AU) Heads of State, and her Office’s endorsement thereof, to limit civil society participation during the May 2013 AU Summit
Reflecting the overall theme of 2013 as the year of Pan-Africanism and African Renaissance, we are writing to call on the African Union to take urgent action to respond to the appalling situation of widespread and systematic human rights violations in Eritrea, especially in light of the commemoration’s sub-theme of promoting peace and security in Africa.
