Luanda - The president of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR), Commissioner Ramy Ngoy Lumbu, on Thursday in Luanda deemed positive the work that has been carried out by the Angolan courts.
Speaking to the press, at the end of a meeting with the Supreme Court's (TS) Deputy-Chief Justice, Efigênia Lima, the commissioner said that the work of the Angolan courts is in accordance with the provisions of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights.
He stated the meeting's objective was to understand how the provisions of the ACHPR have been integrated into the courts' daily work.
Asked about the recommendations made to the TS, he stated that they will be placed in public domain on the upcoming Friday, the last day of the mission to Angola.

The ACHPR is the main human rights body of the African Union (AU), and was created under the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, for its supervision, in addition to carrying out any other tasks entrusted to it by the Assembly of Head of State and Government.
In addition to the TS, the Commission has already held meetings at the National Assembly (AN), the Attorney General's Office, among other national bodies.
