I. Introduction The African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights prescribes in Article 62 that: “(...)each State Party shall undertake to submit every two years, from the date the Charter comes into force (for that State), a report on the legislative or other measures taken with a view to giving effect to the rights and freedoms recognised and guaranteed by the present Charter.” Sierra Leone in 1983 ratified the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights embracing a document that postulated the protection of citizens and avowed to assure the individual of their human dignity and integrity. This document proscribes that a report on the implementation of the same in to the domestic legal order. In this regard, the State has failed in its obligation; Sierra Leone has never submitted a report to the Commission entrusted with the task of ensuring that States discharge their obligations. Sierra Leone has therefore fourteen reports outstanding that it must submit in the discharge of its obligation. The lapse or failure to report has not been a disregard of the importance of the Charter; rather it has been as a result of serious domestic upheavals that threatened the very existence of the State. A respecter of international norms, relations and international law in itself the Sate has embarked on a rebranding process which will see it discharge all obligations accruing it in the shortest possible time. This report is intended as its initial to date report with a view to sending all reports stemming from this as per the mandatory obligation. 3
