48 CONCLUSION State Party to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights since 1986, the CAR has unfortunately registered serious delay in the drafting and presentation of the Reports required by Article 62 of the present Charter. In effect, the production of the present initial and cumulative Report in conformity with Article 62 of the Charter is evidence of the firm political will of the current regime to make the promotion and protection of human rights one of its priorities, thereby rectifying the lapses of the former regimes in this area. The comments and observations of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the present Report will be welcomed for a better influence of the issue of human rights in the CAR. Thus, the CAR wishes to seize this opportunity to launch a vibrant appeal to the African Community through the intermediary of the African Union and its specialised Agencies to support the Central African Authorities in their efforts to ensure that the protection and promotion of human rights becomes an actual reality in the country.
