The University of Bristol Human Rights Implementation Centre has been hosting, in collaboration with the Centre for Democracy and Human Rights in Africa (CHRDA) in Cameroon, a series of webinars on strategic litigation for Cameroonian lawyers.
Bringing in expert speakers on litigating before the African and UN human rights systems, the programme, which began on 4 July 2022, provides guidance for lawyers in planning strategic litigation and aims to identify potential cases.
The programme is funded by the IAA (Impact Accelerator Account) and follows on from work undertaken through an ESRC grant on implementation of human rights decisions.
The Human Rights Implementation Centre (HRIC) at the University of Bristol Law School is a leading institution for the implementation of human rights, that works in collaboration with a number of organisations and bodies, including those in the United Nations, the African Union, the Council of Europe, as well as with governments and organisations at the national level.
The ESRC Human Rights Law Implementation Project (HRLIP) tracks selected decisions by UN and regional human rights treaty bodies, against nine countries in Africa, Europe and the Americas, to see the extent to which States have implemented them and why.
