 Ensure the implementation of decisions arrived at by the Courts and quasi-international judicial institutions in respect of Senegal’s obligations under human rights treaties to which the State is a party79. 240. In principle, every year, the President of the Committee symbolically presents on 10 December, an annual report to the President of the Republic on the human rights situation in Senegal and the activities carried out by the 80 CSDH . But since the reform of the CSDH in 1997, only 5 reports have been presented to the President of the Republic, the reason being that since 2000, with the advent of President Abdoulaye Wade, the new Senegalese authorities 81 created a High Commission for Human Rights and Promotion of Peace whose 82 83 mandate and modalities for intervention ended up by creating utter confusion within this State institution as to the actual role and place of the CSDH in the new human rights promotion and protection architecture established by the new government. 241. This situation has a negative effect on the CSDH, thus leading to the SubCommittee on Accreditation of the International Committee on Coordination of National Human Rights Institutions for Human Rights Promotion and Protection (CIC) of the High Commission for Human Rights (HCDH) to recommend to the CIC Office to downgrade its status from A to B as a result of:     The obvious lack of financial, material and human support on the part of the Government of Senegal ; The absence of a transparent and pluralistic process in the appointment of its members ; The appointment of part-time members to the institution ; The inability of the CSDH to appoint its own staff. 242. With the advent of President Macky Sall, the CSDH seems to have rediscovered its status as the principal State institution for promoting and protecting human rights: a new President has been appointed and the Government has made a firm commitment to provide the institution with sufficient budgetary resources and staff to enable it to fulfill its mandate independently and impartially.
