Research: Centre for Human Rights

In line with the objective to strengthen research, particularly across ‘academic disciplines’, the Centre embarked on socio-legal research on the xenophobic violence and its aftermath, and continued working with the Centre for the Study of AIDS on the various activities of the AIDS and Human Rights Research Unit. Two highlights included the Unit’s crucial role in the drafting of the Model Law of HIV in Southern Africa, which the SADC Parliamentary Forum adopted in November, and the adoption of a resolution on access to medicines by the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, based on a proposal prepared by the Unit. The Gender Unit also continued conducting important research and was awarded a competitive research assignment issued by the Geneva Institute for Human Rights and Humanitarian Law.
