ISHR monitors and engages in the regular sessions of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, as well as the NGO Forum that precedes each of these sessions.

After the conclusion of each session, ISHR publishes Kumulika: A Spotlight on Human Rights in Africa, our regular analytical report that highlights the main developments and opportunities for NGO engagement with the Commission.

In conjunction with the Institute for Human Rights and Development in Africa (IHRDA), ISHR has also produced A Human Rights Defenders' Guide to the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights.
