African Union Day marks the commemoration of the historic Sirte Declaration (1999), which was the first milestone in the creation of the African Union and renewed Africa’s determination to forge its own destiny.
This day is an opportunity for all the daughters and sons of the Continent to reflect on a shared vision of an Africa united in its goals, anchored in solidarity and firmly committed to the path of integration.
The African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights stands with all Africans in affirming that justice and the protection of human and peoples’ rights are essential to building strong institutions and achieving the goals and aspirations of Agenda 2063.
Let us celebrate this day by strengthening our resolve to advance unity, justice and dignity for all Africans.
