Abstract

SLOTH-NIELSEN, Julia  and  MEZMUR, Benyam D. Win some, lose some: The 10th ordinary session of the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. Afr. hum. rights law j. [online]. 2008, vol.8, n.1, pp.207-220. ISSN 1996-2096.

The African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, the monitoring body of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, held its 10th ordinary session in October 2007. This discussion highlights the inertia of the Committee, exemplified by its failure to examine any of the state reports submitted to it. Some cause for optimism may be derived from the appointment of a permanent Secretary to the Committee.
