According   to   the   Ghana   Refugee   Board,   the   role   of   the   Ghana   government   in   protecting   the   rights  of  the  refugees  has  been  providing  security  for  the  refugees  in  the  form  of  land  for  the   camps   (Buduburam   and   Krisan),   and   ensuring   the   registration   of   refugees   as   they   enter   Ghana.     The  UNHCR  then  takes  over  to  assist  the  refugees  during  their  time  in  Ghana.      However,  it  must   be  noted  that  article  4  of  the  1992  Refugee  Law  in  Ghana  states  that  the  Refugee  Board  itself   has  the  mandate  to  assist  in  seeking  employment  or  education  for  refugees  (see  below).    It  is   also   important   to   note   that   there   is   still   no   express   mention   of   refugee   rights   under   the   fundamental  rights  and  freedoms  in  the  1992  Ghana  Constitution.   In   2008,   following   the   Liberian   presidential   election,   the   Office   of   the   UN   High   Commissioner   for   Refugees   (UNHCR)   began   repatriating   Liberians.   The   Government   said   it   would   consider   naturalizing  the  remaining  Liberians  but  by  the  end  of  May,  only  some  5,000  had  accepted  the   offer.  After  finalizing  a  tripartite  agreement  with  the  Governments  of  Ghana  and  Togo  in  April,   UNHCR   began   repatriating   some   of   the   estimated   12,000   Togolese   refugees   in   Ghana   in   September.  In  the  camps,  34  refugees  reported  instances  of  sexual  assault  and  rape,  while  at   least  14  children  suffered  physical  abuse.     3.27        Rights  of  prisoners   The   Constitution6   of   Ghana   has   provisions   relevant   to   the   Prison   Service.   Chapter   Sixteen   establishes   the   Prisons   Service   which   shall   be   equipped   and   maintained   to   perform   its   traditional  role  efficiently.  The  membership  of  the  Prisons  Service  Council  includes  a  lawyer,  a   representative  of  the  National  House  of  Chiefs  and  religious  leader  among  others.7      The  Prisons   Service  Decree  No  46  1972  repealed  both  the  Prisons  Act  of  1963  and  the  Prisons  Amendment   Act  of  1965.  Part  six  thereof  is  on  prison  custody.     Part   seven   provides   for   the   treatment   of   prisoners.   The   Director   of   prisons   is   duty-­‐bound   to   ensure  sufficient  food,  clothing,  soap,  beddings,  toilet  facilities,  medicine  and  drugs.  Prisoners                                                                                                                             10 11 12 6 The Constitution of the Republic of Ghana 1992 7 Arts 205 (1) and (2) and 206 respectively. 61
