THE INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS PROGRAM

presents

Bahame Tom Nyanduga

Commissioner at the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights and Special Rapporteur on Refugees

Stories of human rights abuses in Africa are all too common in the media.  What often go unreported are the efforts of African mechanisms of human rights protection and promotion to fight for human rights on the continent.

Bahame Tom Nyanduga, a Commissioner at the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights and its Special Rapporteur on Refugees, will describe how these mechanisms work, the challenges they face, and what Africans and Canadians alike can do to support them.
