Acknowledgements Origin and Mandate Staffing and Appointment Procedures Activities Funding Assessment Origin and Mandate insertion in French). The government continues to constrain and harass the political opposition and human rights NGO community, including through the denial of official registration. In 1998, three prominent human rights activists were held incommunicado for four days for allegedly collaborating in the making of a French television network program to document allegations that slavery persists in Mauritania. Two of the three arrested were charged with acting on behalf of organizations not officially recognized by the government and convicted to thirteen months imprisonment. One of the defense lawyers, another leading human rights activist, was also arrested. Following widespread criticism of the sentences, the human rights activists were pardoned by President Taya. The creation of the Commission on Human Rights, the Fight Against Poverty and Social Inclusion seems to have been motivated by the wish to address broad societal inequalities, including economic disparities. When asked to situate the creation of the commission in the Mauritanian context, Koita Bamariem, the director of human rights promotion in the commission, pointed to the country's social and economic inequities as the key motivation in this decision. He also cited the absence of any other economic and social body in the government as a reason for the creation of the commission: "because it was necessary to adopt a more consolidated approach to economic and social issues, such as water policy or the need for universal education, in order to resolve the problems of poverty which is the most egregious of human rights violations."

7. Mauritania: Government Human Rights Commissions In Africa - Assessment a kind of mirror for donors and an alibi because, in fact, the government doesnot . In fact, it is easier to found a political party in Mauritania than to http://www.hrw.org/reports/2001/africa/mauritania/mauritania5.html

Overview Summary International Standards: The Paris Principles Important Factors ... Funding Assessment Assessment The Commission on Human Rights, the Fight Against Poverty and Social Inclusion's most notable feature is the stress that its mandate places on economic and social rights. Economic and social rights issues are, for the most part, not accorded sufficient attention by national human rights commissions, nor African and international human rights NGOs, although the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights has made it a stated priority. National human rights commissions rarely address poverty alleviation and social inequities from a human rights perspective, and the Mauritanian commission is breaking new ground in formally expanding the traditional activities taken up by state human rights commissions. This risk is also felt by the Mauritanian NGOs. The Association Mauritanienne des Droits de l'Homme (AMDH) warned at the twenty-fourth session of the African Commission on Human and People's Rights in October 1998 that "the creation of a human rights commission [in Mauritania] will not be a magic wand that will result in the disappearance of human rights violations." Finally, one of the most troubling flaws in the structure of the commission is the almost complete absence of collaboration and support for the human rights NGOs which are often attacked by the government. President Cheikh Saad Bouh Kamara, president of the AMDH, noted:

Date: Thu, 24 Apr 97 20:53:16 CDT From: owner-amnesty-l@oil.ca Subject: MAURITANIA: GOVT SHOULD DO MORE THAN HOST HUMAN RIGHTS CONFERENCE News Service 66/97 AI INDEX: AFR 38/03/97 16 APRIL 1997 Mauritania: Government should do more than host human rights conference Amnesty International, 16 April, 1997 The Government of Mauritania should do more than host the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, it should comply with its obligations under the African Charter, Amnesty International said today, as the African Commission meets this week in Nouakchott for its 21st Ordinary Session. "Hosting this meeting is nothing but an illusion that human rights is firmly on the Mauritanian Government's own agenda," the organization said. "The human rights situation has in fact deteriorated over the past three months as the authorities have increasingly sought to silence opposition to its policies by detaining government critics for short periods." Even the formal opening of the Commission's session by the Prime Minister of Mauritania yesterday was marred by the heavy presence of soldiers who were trying to prevent local human rights organizations from participating in the public opening session. The human rights organizations were allowed in only after persistent protest from Amnesty International and other international human rights activists. Since the beginning of the year at least 27 and possibly as many as 40 government critics have been arrested in connection with their political activities and detained for short periods mostly outside the judicial process. Only six of them were eventually charged and brought to trial. All the others were released without charge after being detained incommunicado for periods ranging from 24 hours to 27 days.

The Association called on the government to review the measure, which it described as "anti-democratic', and urged civil society and the international community to intervene. The ban, decided at a cabinet meeting, resulted from a report by Interior Minister Cheyakh Ould Ely, which said the party's activities were harmful to national unity and incited intolerance, state-owned Radio Mauritanie reported on Wednesday.
