  • Human Rights in Africa, See Also Zeleza (2006:42–43)
    The African Union: Concepts and implementation mechanisms relating to human rights The African Union: Concepts and implementation mechanisms relating to human rights Bience Gawanas Introduction This paper focuses on the evolution of human rights within the African Union (AU), starting from the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in 1963. The paper therefore takes as its basic premise the following: • Since its establishment, the OAU has been preoccupied with human rights, as evidenced by the struggle for the decolonisation of Africa and the right to self-determination and independence. Embodied within this, no doubt, is the fact that those agitating and fighting for independence used human rights standards to justify their struggle, as colonialism had no regard for the human rights of colonised people. • The AU, in contrast to the OAU, made human rights an explicit part of its mandate, as embodied in its Constitutive Act, and mainstreamed human rights in all its activities and programmes. However, it is clear that the current methodologies require strengthening with a view to developing a holistic, comprehensive and integrated approach to ensure that all human rights are respected. • Because it is linked to the above points, the human rights discourse cannot be divorced from its historical context or the prevailing political, social, economic and cultural conditions on the continent – particularly when it is understood that the struggle for human rights and the establishment of a human rights system are products of a concrete social struggle.1 In this regard, human rights are also as much about civil and political rights as they are about economic, social and cultural rights.

    PRESS RELEASE: For Immediate Release Addis Ababa, 3 October 2013 Media Contacts: In Addis Ababa: Samson Tesfaye: +251.911.230.842 [email protected] In New York: Geoffrey Knox: +1 212.229.0540, [email protected] The High-Level Task Force for the ICPD calls on African leaders to accelerate efforts for achieving gender equality, the empowerment of women and young people and sexual and reproductive health and rights. (Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. 3 October 2013) Today, the High-Level Task Force for the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) launched its policy recommendations in Africa, calling on the region’s top decision-makers to step up political will and investments for advancing gender equality, the empowerment of women and young people, and sexual and reproductive health and rights – fundamental human rights issues and also critical for the sustainable development of the region. This call was issued at a press conference held during the African Regional Conference on Population and Development, organized by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the African Union (AU) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The Conference brings together government officials from the region to review the progress made in implementing the ICPD Programme of Action adopted in Cairo in 1994, and to chart the way forward for the ICPD Beyond 2014. The Task Force calls on African governments to heed the following four key recommendations, urging their incorporation as priority objectives in both the regional agenda for Cairo beyond 2014 and the new post- 2015 global development agenda: 1. Respect, protect and fulfill sexual and reproductive rights for all - through legal and policy reforms and public education campaigns and community mobilization on human rights; 2.

  • THE WOMEN's MOVEMENT in NAMIBIA: HISTORY, CONSTRAINTS and POTENTIAL Dianne Hubbard & Colette Solomon
    THE WOMEN'S MOVEMENT IN NAMIBIA: HISTORY, CONSTRAINTS AND POTENTIAL Dianne Hubbard & Colette Solomon Dianne Hubbard does legal research on gender issues for a public interest law firm called the Legal Assistance Centre. She is also a member of Women's Solidarity, a volunteer group involved in education and counselling around the issue of violence against women. Colette Solomon does social and economic research for the Social Sciences Division of the Multi- Disciplinary Research Centre at the University of Namibia. She is also a member of the committee convened by the government's Department of Women Affairs to prepare the national report for Beijing. Both authors live in Windhoek. Both see themselves as in being involved in work which includes educational and activist components as well as more traditional research. Both consider themselves to be part of the women's movement. Although one author is white and the other black, both are members of Namibia's urban, educated elite. ***** As a starting point, it is difficult to say whether there is something which can validly be called "a women's movement" in Namibia at present. On the one hand, it is possible to speak of a Namibia women's movement in two senses. Firstly, although there is no single organization which speaks for all Namibian women, various non-governmental organizations and governmental bodies which are concerned about issues affecting women have on occasion been able to put aside their differences to work together to achieve common aims. Secondly, there is a growing perception amongst Namibian women that many of their social and economic problems are related to their position as women, and they are showing an increasing interest in organizing to address such problems jointly.

  • Namibia and the African Union* Bience Gawanas**
    Namibia and the African Union* Bience Gawanas** Introduction It is fair to state that Namibia’s foreign relations have largely been shaped by the history of the liberation struggle, the formative years of transition from colonial occupation and independence, and the relationship between the liberation movements – particularly the South West Africa People’s Organisation (SWAPO) and organisations such as the United Nations (UN), the Organisation of African Unity (OAU, later the African Union/AU), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the Commonwealth, the Non- aligned Movement, and the Frontline States. There is also no doubt that the post-Cold-War era influenced both the OAU/AU and the Namibian agenda, moving from a focus on conflicts and security to broader development goals. Whereas the OAU concentrated on the decolonisation of Africa, the AU’s main objectives are unity, integration, governance, peace, and development. Against this background, it can be clearly stated that the OAU played a key role in Namibia’s fight for freedom and independence. Consequently, it is a very meaningful task to verify whether Namibia still appreciates these historical bonds and has a special relationship with the OAU’s successor organisation, the AU. In addition, it is important to show Namibia’s stance on multilateralism, especially since the AU is at the highest organisational level within the African context. Last, but not least, the chapter is meaningful because it will illustrate the principles on which Namibian foreign policy rests. The chapter is structured in the following way. First, it looks at the historical background of Namibia’s relationship with the OAU prior to the country’s independence in 1990.

  • Global Health SUMMARY.Indd
    Scaling Up, Saving Lives Summary and recommendations Task Force for Scaling Up Education and Training for Health Workers, Global Health Workforce Alliance 3 Scaling Up, Saving Lives Preface The desperate shortage of health workers in the world means that millions of people die or are disabled unnecessarily. A large part of the problem is simply that not enough health workers are being educated and trained. We were asked by the Global Health Workforce Alliance to bring together an international group of people to review the experience of countries and research from around the world, and draw up practical proposals for how to scale up massively the education and training of health workers. Scaling Up, Saving Lives is the result. The good news is that there is now plenty of evidence and many examples of what can be done – practically and effectively. So why – as we have heard political leaders ask – are we not seeing the same improvements everywhere? We could, and the proposals set out in this report will lead to results, but only if we work together with determination and sustained commitment. More needs to be done to turn existing knowledge into action at national and international level. The global political climate provides a moment of opportunity which should not be missed. Everyone has a part to play in dealing with the global health workforce crisis – governments, education leaders, international development partners and donors, local partners, and the public and private sector. Political leadership, backed by predictable and long-term financing to support well-constructed national scale-up plans, is critical.

    KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY HON. NETUMBO NANDI-NDAITWAH, DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER AND MINISTER OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND COOPERATION, ON THE OCCASION OF THE CELEBRATION OF AFRICA DAY, 25 MAY 2015 GIVEN AT WINDHOEK, KHOMAS REGION 1 Programme Director, Speaker of the National Assembly, Hon. Prof.Katjavivi Chief Justice Peter Shivute Honourable Ministers, Honourable Members of Parliament, Your Excellencies Members of the Diplomatic Corps, His Worship Muesee Kazapua, Mayor of Windhoek, Regional and Local authority Councillors Distinguished Invited Guests, Members of the Media, Ladies and Gentlemen, We are gathered here to celebrate the rich and diverse history of our continent and its peoples as we remember the formation of the Organisation for African Unity (OAU) on 25 May 1963. In 2013 we celebrated the fiftieth anniversary, of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) through an extensive programme across the country. That programme allowed Namibians to engage in discussions of the future of our continental organisation, the African Union. Why do we continue to celebrate Africa Day? In the first place, we celebrate the launch in Addis Ababa 52 years ago by the Heads of State and Government of independent African states, and witnessed by leaders of African liberation movements, including SWAPO. Let me remind ourselves that our Founding President His Excellency Dr Sam Nujoma, attended the launch of the OAU 2 in Ethiopia, in 1963 in his capacity as then-President of SWAPO. Although Namibia was a colony then, we are indeed a part of that illustrious history. Secondly, Africa Day allows us to celebrate significant political, social, and economic achievements since the establishment of the OAU.
