Resumo

MEZMUR, Benyam D  e  SLOTH-NIELSEN, Julia. An ice-breaker: State party reports and the 11th session of the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. Afr. hum. rights law j. [online]. 2008, vol.8, n.2, pp.596-616. ISSN 1996-2096.

During its 11th session, the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child held its first Pre-Session for the consideration of state party reports. This update highlights the work of the Committee during this session. While little attention is paid to the proceedings of the 11th session, partly as a result of the fact that the session was short-lived (only three days, composed of open and closed sessions), the procedures for the Pre-Session, as well as the substance of the four reports that were discussed during the Pre-Session, occupy centre stage. In conclusion, it is argued that the whole exercise of the Pre-Session was an ice-breaker, and represents progress in its own right. In looking forward, the importance for the African Children's Committee to draw the necessary lessons from the four state party reports and to chart ways of strengthening the reporting regime is underscored. A number of tentative recommendations are made in this regard.
