1.1. monitoring abuses of human rights;
1.2 obtaining redress for the victims of human rights abuse;

2. the relief of poverty and the improvement of the conditions of life in socially and economically disadvantaged communities in southern Africa.
3. to promote public education and research (...)

The treaties that are of most relevance to Action for Southern Africa are:
1. The Cotonou Agreement between the European Union and the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States.
2. The Economic Partnership Agreements between (i) the European Union and the Southern African Development Community Group of States and (ii) the European Union and the Eastern and Southern Africa Group of States.

Action for Southern Africa seeks to follow the evolution of these treaties, and to monitor statements by representatives of European Union institutions in light of these treaties as well as international human rights law and standards.

Please note that Action for Southern Africa is a small charity (2 full-time and 2 part-time staff) that seeks to engage with a range of governments and multilateral institutions in line with its objects. As such we have limited capacity to follow European Union initiatives, policies and legislative files.
