QUESTION OF THE DAY

“The Commission shall –
(a) after one year of its establishment, submit an interim report to the president detailing its activities;
(b) after the end of its mandate –
(i) prepare a comprehensive report which sets out its activities and findings based on factual and objective information and evidence collected, received by it or placed at its disposal; and
(ii) make recommendations to the President with regard to the creation of institutions conducive to the development of a stable and democratic society as well as the institutional, administrative and legislative measures, which should be taken in order to prevent the violations and abuses of human rights.”
