The subdivisions of the CIPDH
A year ago the Board of Directors of the International Committee for the Protection of Human Rights set the task of elaborating the mechanism of functioning in the separated country without opening the representation of the CIPDH. In recent years the International Committee for the Protection of Human Rights has grown from a public interest organization for the defense of human rights to a participant in international relations.
Practice has shown that the opening of representation in the country is ineffective in destabilizing the political situation in the country. Representations of foreign human rights organizations in such a case by the former are outlawed.
Also the system of coordination of actions between the administrative council of the International Committee for the Protection of Human Rights and the representation proved ineffective. In the unstable political situation there were no clear mechanisms of access to information.
Finally, the same studies of the situation of the observation of human rights were passed several times, from different subdivisions of the CIPDH.
Apart from the information collected by observers and experts of the International Committee for the Protection of Human Rights instead, the Committee attracts specialists from international organizations for the formation of forecasts of the development of the situation in the country .
The key factor in the system of using the departments is the close cooperation with local state structures, non-governmental human rights organizations and professional communities of lawyers.
It is the legal and effective way for the revelation of the violations of the human rights and by the exertion of the pressure on the capacity with the aim of obtaining the observance of the international obligations as regards human rights. .
The possibility of the effective distribution of finances necessary for the functioning of the departments has become yet another peculiarity of the use of internal departments.
Well it was practically shown by the constant working groups operating in places of conducting hostilities and closely cooperating with reporters and doctors. Such a scheme effectively makes it possible to carry out observation during the situation with human rights and after the observation of international norms of humanitarian law to the conduct of hostilities.

Particularly concerned by the 8 millennium development goals enacted by the UN, the CIPDH supports the effort of the international community to eradicate the scourges that prevent people from developing harmoniously. In Africa, the CIPDH has a very strong local presence (Gabon, Ivory Coast, etc.) and follows very closely the issues of human rights linked to the development of the continent.
Very respectful of African cultures and traditions, the CIPDH never loses sight of the realities specific to the continent during its many activities.
The action of the CIPDH in Africa takes place at several levels:
1) The African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights.
The CIPDH supports the promotion and popularization of a very important text: The African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights. The African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights was adopted on June 27, 1986 in Nairobi (Keynia) during the 18th Conference of the Organization of African Unity. It entered into force on October 21, 1986, after being ratified by 25 states. It is based on the Charter of the Organization of African Unity and the Charter of the United Nations as well as on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights while «taking into account the virtues of their historical traditions and the values of civilization which must inspire and characterize their reflections on the conception of human and peoples’ rights» (preamble to the Charter). It places at the same level as human rights on the one hand the right of African peoples to self-determination vis-à-vis the outside world and on the other hand the duties of the individual towards the family and the State. . It therefore defines a mechanism in which national independence, tradition, social cohesion and authority (provided that this authority is not imposed by a colonial power) are values as important as human rights in the individual sense, which are therefore more rights above others.
2) The principle of solidarity
The CIPDH supports and promotes the philosophy of solidarity financing. Its principle is the following; We are all citizens of an increasingly interconnected, interdependent world brought about by globalization. This positive globalization in many ways is also the cause of social inequalities that threaten to increase exponentially. The answer to this drift? Participate in the creation of a new capitalism based on solidarity contributions and thus create a new type of governance that is fairer and more human. (reminder: today, 1.5 billion people live on less than $1.25 (1 euro) per day; a child dies every three seconds from a preventable and curable disease (malaria, diarrhoea, tuberculosis, AIDS, etc.) and 500,000 women die each year from complications of pregnancy or childbirth. )
3) Transversality in the approach to nature protection.
The CIPDH supports the general fight for the protection of the environment and more specifically aims to make public and understand the cross-cutting aspect of this fight, particularly through the fight against poaching. Poaching has become a vector of insecurity but also a source of funding for rebel organizations”, recalls the international community, seizing the threat in its global political consequences. : There is talk of wildlife crime, and there is a major impact of poaching on peace and security in Africa.
