Peace and Security Council Report No 86

This edition looks into migrant rights, the South Sudan hybrid court and AUC chairperson candidates.

Humanitarian agencies have called upon the AU to use its unique position to protect the rights of migrants.

Those who are charged with setting up the hybrid court for South Sudan are not keen on keeping leaders accountable.

Three new candidates have entered the race for AU Commission chairperson to be elected in January 2017. Despite several decisions in this regard, the subcommittees of the PSC are still not functioning.

The African Union urgently needs highly trained experts to help with its peacekeeping operations, says Dr Jide Okeke, Head of Policy Development and Civilian Coordinator at the AU’s Peace Support Operations Division.
