The President of Zanzibar, Dr Ali Mohamed Shein, has stressed the importance of human rights to peace and stability in the world.
He spoke during the visit of the judges of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights led by its President, Justice Sylvain Oré as part of the 55th Ordinary Session of the Court.
A statement signed by the Registrar of the Court, Dr Robert Eno, explained that the conference is holding between Nov. 4 and 29, while the Extra-Ordinary Session will hold between December 2 and 7 on the Island of Zanzibar.
President Shein said that there cannot be any development without peace and stability. This, he said, has resulted in enormous economic, social and political achievements on the Islands.
“The success has also been contributed by the independence enjoyed by the three arms of government (the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary), which complement each other in the functions of state,” he added.
Shein said he was pleased to receive the delegation of the Court. He assured them of the support of his government to ensure that the Sessions were conducted smoothly, and encouraged the Judges and staff to visit the many attractions in Zanzibar.
Justice Oré thanked the Zanzibar government for hosting the sessions and especially for its commitment to peace, unity and the protection of human rights.
