Africa: NAMs Ratify OAU/AU Cultural Charters

The Gambia National Assembly Thursday, 21st August ratified the cultural charters of the Organisation of African Union and the African Union 1976 and 2006 respectively. The two charters are formulated by the African Heads of states at the thirteen Ordinary Sessions in Maurituis 1976 and Khartoum 2006.

The Minister of Works, Construction and National Assembly Matters, Bala Garba Jahumpa, overseeing the Ministry of Tourism and Culture, laid the reports for the two charters separately. Minister Jahumpa said the two charters were inspired by the 1966 Algiers Pan African cultural manifesto and the inter-governmental conference held by UNESCO at Accra in 1975.
