122. With regard to Parliament, a Committee on legislation and human rights was established and parliamentary networks have been organized at the subregional level within the framework of human rights promotion and protection. 123. The CNRA which was established by law n° 2006-04 of 04 January 2006 is tasked with ensuring cohesion in the radio and television broadcasting sector and with promoting compliance with rules on pluralism, ethical standards, and professional code of conduct, laws and regulations in force as well as specifications and conventions governing the media. This new institution updates and reinforces the radio and television broadcasting mechanism in force in Senegal since 1991 by the abolition of the former Higher Audiovisual Council (HCA) among others. 124. The CENA which was established by Law n° 2005-07 of 11 May 2005 ensures that the electoral law is enforced by the administrative authorities and by political parties, candidates and voters. It has considerable powers which guarantee free and fair elections. The digitization of national and voters’ identity cards and the publication of electoral lists mostly on the internet facilitate in particular the oversight responsibility of elections. 125. On the sidelines of this institutional mechanism, there are more than 11,112 non-governmental associations and organizations including 242 trade unions. These civil society organisations are a credible opposition to promote and protect human rights. By their composition and their vocation, they consist of men and women of goodwill who are committed to this thematic area. Through the constant relations existing between them and the population at the national level, they become actual warning and alert mechanisms and pressure groups for cases of human rights violations. 126. Teaching and popularization of human rights are carried out in different forms with the active involvement of human rights defense organizations. At the national level, pursuant to Resolution 59/113B of the General Assembly of the United Nations on the Action Plan for the first phase (2005-2007) of the World Programme for Human Rights Education in primary and secondary school systems, the government of Senegal through the Ministry of Education in close collaboration with civil society organizations designed a human rights education curriculum for basic education. 127. The document of the said Ministry was the subject of consultation at the national level with the support of development partners, in particular UNESCO. At the University level, the Institute of Human Rights and Peace (IDHP/University of Dakar) is developing a professional Masters programme in human rights research. 29
