GENERAL CONCLUSION Cote d’Ivoire is firmly committed to the protection and promotion of fundamental human rights in general, and is particularly determined to implement the relevant provisions of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights. Convinced that the promotion and protection of Human Rights is materializing through an improvement in the living standards of the citizenry, among others, the Ivorian Government has carried out many activities in order to ensure the entrenchment of the Rule of Law, democracy and prosperity. Evidence of this is as follows: - formulation of the National Development Plan (PND); - reforms of the institutional and structural plan, particularly the CNDHCI, CNP and HACA; - establishment of the High Authority for Good Governance; - launch of major job creating structural and integrative projects (bridges, highways, road works, dams, and - actual establishment of the Independent Electoral Commission (CEI), the independent election management body. This institution had its first assignment when it organized the October-November 2010 presidential election which included, for the first time ever, the votes of Ivorians in the Diaspora. Moreover, the legal environment has normalized with the establishment and opening of courts in the exCentral Northern and Western zones. In addition to this are the rehabilitation and refitting of courts and prison facilities. (To be broadened) Efforts have been made in the area of economic and social rights, in spite of the post-crisis situation. In addition, Cote d’Ivoire is, in collaboration with civil society, striving to deepen the process initiated in the area of the promotion and protection of human rights with the broadening of all contributions made in good faith, particularly recommendations from organized seminars and conferences as well as reports prepared by experts after their field trips. Human rights have actually been incorporated into the primary and secondary school curricula. In this regard, Cote d’Ivoire intends to pursue its constructive dialogue and cooperation with all the Human Rights mechanisms in all sincerity and transparency. Although it is aware that a lot of effort has been made, it also knows that a dynamic process is necessary for the promotion and protection of Human Rights. It hopes to be able to benefit from the effective assistance of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights and all international human rights promotion and protection institutions to successfully carry out projects aimed at building a strong nation and entrenching the culture of Human Rights in Cote d’Ivoire. 49
