During 2016, the Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria, is celebrating its 30th anniversary, coinciding with the entry into force of one of the most important human rights treaties on the continent, the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights.
This year is also the African Union’s Year of Human Rights (with a focus on women’s rights) as well as the 20th anniversary of the South African Constitution.
On 8 December 2016, the Centre will be hosting a 30/30 Colloquium, to celebrate the co-existence and convergence over the 30 years of the Centre and the African human rights system.
