47 IX/ THE IMPLEMENTATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION BY THE CAR IN CONFORMITY WITH ARTICLE 25 OF THE CHARTER In accordance with Article 25 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights pertaining to human rights education, the CAR has made it a duty which is translated in practice by: 1/ The creation of a High Commission for Human Rights, a parastatal institution, responsible for implementing the policy for the promotion and protection of human rights; 2/ The organisation of a series of activities promoting human rights (education, conference-debates, sensitization, popularization of the human rights documents….); 3/ The project for the integration of human rights education in the Central African education system. X/ THE CHARTER AS AN INSTRUMENT OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS The CAR, within the context of its diplomatic activities signs Agreements and International Conventions in conformity with Article 69 of the Constitution in force. Its participation in regional and international meetings and seminars on human rights, as well as the ratification of the related instruments, is testimony of the goodwill of the political Authorities to make Human Rights issues a priority among their activities. Thus, the presentation of these initial and cumulative Reports on human rights to the United Nations Human Rights Commission, and to the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights are a means of guaranteeing respect for Human Rights to which the CAR subscribes. XI/ OTHER INFORMATION USEFUL FOR THE APPLICATION AND PROMOTION OF THE CHARTER State Party to the Charter, the CAR has not yet ratified the African Convention on the Rights of Women and of the Child. However, in practice, the provisions of the said Conventions are respected. The ratification procedure is in progress. Thus, the CAR has not yet ratified the optional protocol establishing the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights. However, the new Authorities that came to power after the recent elections are tackling the matter.
