• Part VI. Problems encountered …………………………………………... 105 • Part VII. Article 25 of the African Charter ……………………………….. 106 General introduction This work is the result of the endeavor of The Seychelles Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Humanitarian Affairs Committee to finally, after some years of silence, accomplish its duty of submitting a report under Article 62 of the "African Charter in Human and Peoples Rights" for the implementation of legislative or other measures taken with a view to giving effect to humans rights and freedoms. There was some difficulty in organizing the information, which is widely spread. Particularly because the last edition of the Seychelles Laws dates from 1996, and since then, many legal instruments have been derogated or modified, and some new ones have been brought into force. Thereafter with the aim of reflecting in the report all the relevant legal dispositions, which are in force at the present, research was concluded in all the Official Gazettes that have been published after 1996, and in some cases even before that date. For the completion of the Report use has been made of the "Guidelines to Periodic Reporting under Article 62 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights". The first four parts of the document follow exactly the format supplied by the "Guidelines" until part 4 (see Table of Content). Part 4 of the Guidelines requires the implementation by the parties of civil, political, economic, social, cultural, and group rights; which, is a classification that includes all the human rights enshrined by the Charter. Thereafter part IV of the report document, follows the implementation of each one of the Articles of the Charter by the national law. In the Report a decision has been taken not to include data information or lengthy comments for each right; however, supremacy has been given to the implementation by the Seychelles law of each one of the Articles of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights.
