African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights

"The Commission was officially inaugurated on 2nd November 1987 in Addis Ababa, Ethopia, after its members had been elected in July of the same year by the OAU 23rd Assembly of Heads of State and Government. ... The Commission did not have a permanent Secretariat after its inauguration and thus, for its first five sessions, its activities were co-ordinated from the OAU General Secretariat in Addis Ababa."
