On 30th September–3rd October 2025, the African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) participated in the Conference on the Domestic Impact and Implementation of Decisions of the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACERWC), alongside a dedicated CSO capacity-building workshop convened by the Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria The conference brought together a wide range of stakeholders, including representatives of the ACERWC, African Union organs, State officials, academics, and civil society actors, to critically examine the extent to which ACERWC decisions have been implemented at the national level, identify persistent challenges, and explore opportunities for strengthening their domestic impact. ACJPS’ participation was particularly significant given its role as an applicant in landmark communications before the ACERWC, including ACJPS and PLACE v. Republic of Sudan and ACJPS on behalf of Mohammed Abdulelmonim Salih v. Republic of Sudan. Engagement in both the conference and the CSO capacity building workshop enabled ACJPS to reflect on its litigation experience, share lessons learned, and deepen its understanding of post decision advocacy and implementation strategies. The CSO capacity building workshop provided practical, hands on support to civil society organisations directly involved in litigation before the ACERWC, with a focus on monitoring State compliance, advocating for domestic implementation of decisions, and leveraging ACERWC jurisprudence in national legal and policy contexts. Through this engagement, ACJPS strengthened its technical and strategic capacity to use regional child rights mechanisms more effectively, reinforcing its broader work on strategic litigation, documentation, and advocacy for children’s rights in Sudan and the wider region.
On 03 December 2025, ACJPS was delighted to participate in a Panel Discussion on 'Reflections from Litigant CSOs on implementation of decisions and multi-stakeholder engagement’ during a Technical Workshop on Implementation of Decisions at the 46th Ordinary Session of the ACERWC in Maseru, Kingdom of Lesotho. We shared our insights into how ACERWC decisions are being implemented, emphasized the important role litigants can play in ensuring their implementation, and highlighted ACJPS's dedicated efforts, including working closely with other CSOs to support successful implementation.
ACJPS was pleased to attend and actively participate as panelists on Sudan during the 85th ordinary session of the ACHPR held in Banjul, The Gambia. Additionally, on October 22nd, 2025, Sudanese human rights organizations, including ACJPS, attended a substantive meeting with Hon. Hatem Essaiem, who has a mandate for Sudan, and Hon. Commissioner Salma Sassi, the special rapporteur for refugees, asylum seekers, IDPs, and migrants in Africa. The meeting was thoughtfully organized by Defend Defenders. It was a wonderful opportunity for dialogue and collaboration.
