NPRC WATCH "NOT ALONE" :THE ROLE OF INDEPENDENT COMMISSIONS IN TIMES OF CRISIS.

Abstract

In this edition of the NPRC Watch, we are expanding the scope of the discussion to look at not only the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission (NPRC) but all relevant independent commissions that are established to support democracy and entrench human rights through Chapter 12 of the Constitution. We look at the role of these commissions in the times of crisis when violations of human rights are on the increase. It is for times like these that such commissions were established.
