As the world commemorates "Africa Day" this week, the Association of Progressive Communications (APC) is convening a roundtable in partnership with the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) and the national human rights institutions (NANHRI) to address current human rights and internet challenges on the continent.

Description

The meeting, which will take place between 26 and 28 May 2017 at the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) headquarters, will gather representatives of national human rights institutions (NHRIs) from across the African continent to discuss and strengthen their understanding of some of the most pressing human rights challenges facing the continent today. Among the issues addressed, participants will consider how the internet can become be a true enabler of human rights, and the role that NHRIs should play in protecting human rights in the digital age.
