Report
28 January 2007
Today, in Addis Ababa, in accordance with the "Base Documents" of the
African Peer Review Mechanism, the Heads of State and Heads of Government of
the African Peer Review Forum did not table or discuss the draft Country Review
Report on South Africa.
The modalities contained in the "Base Documents" are very explicit - the
Heads of State are to only receive and discuss the final reports of the African
Peer Review (APR) Panel.
The Heads noted that the Report on South Africa was a draft that still
contained factual errors and did not include the most recent comprehensive
South African Programme of Action which had been sent to the Panel as agreed
upon in the second week of January 2007.
It was decided that the South African Report along with the review reports
of Algeria and Nigeria will be tabled and discussed during the next African
Union Heads of State Summit in July 2007.
