Human rights situation in individual countries

The focus of the Justice and Peace Commission’s work is on selected human rights issues whereas local human rights situations are examined only in individual cases. At present, three African countries, i.e. Egypt, Zambia and Zimbabwe, and one Asian country, Indonesia, form the regional priorities of a more intensive monitoring of the respective human rights situation. As the Commission’s work is very partner-oriented, our primary objective is to strengthen and support local human rights activists, primarily in the context of national Justice and Peace structures.
