PRESS STATEMENT ON AFRICAN UNION DAY
PUBLISHED BY: APRMPOSTED: 09-09-2022
Therefore, AU Day presents an opportunity for African people to make self-introspective reflections on the achievements and shortfalls of the Union, especially on pressing matters such democracy and good governance, peace and security, integration, women and youth empowerment, climate change, ending of all forms of discrimination.
As one of the AU institutions established to promote democracy and good governance on the continent, the APRM remains committed to upholding and promoting the objectives of the AU enshrined in its Constitutive Act. The APRM is unequivocal in its quest to realise an Africa of good governance, democracy, respect for human rights, justice and the rule of law and a peaceful and secure Africa.
The APRM calls upon African people to work hand in hand with their governments in implementing AU Shared Values, in particular the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance (ACDEG).
The multifaceted development bottlenecks affecting the continent can be addressed if we take all the necessary measures to strengthen our democratic and governance institutions and provide them with the necessary powers and resources to enable them to discharge their respective mandates effectively.
Long Live Africa! Aluta Continua!
