This Friday, June 19, 2020 at 9:30 am Planete Paix Campus and University residences of Abidjan, led by its Representative Mr. Armel KADJA, exchanged with students on the issue of peace in Cote d’Ivoire at Felix Houphouët-Boigny University of Cocody in this sensitive period of electoral news. This activity which focused on the subject “PEACE IN COTE D’IVOIRE: WHAT IS THE SHARE OF STUDENTS? Was to educate students about the need for peace and an inclusive, participatory, democratic and peaceful presidential election on October 31, 2020 in Cote d’Ivoire. The students who spoke out fearlessly and bluntly all embraced the idea of peace and committed themselves to lasting peace in our country. “Peace for me is having the spirit of brotherhood, solidarity and sharing” exclaimed a student. All of the students said they were looking for peace. The activity ended at 11 h 00 min with the words of thanks from the Head of the section.

It is with mortification in the soul and with dismay that the members of Planète Paix, received on April 29, 2020 the decision of the authorities to withdraw the declaration of competence of the State of Côte d’Ivoire provided for in the protocol relating to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights issued on June 19, 2013.
Was there a survey of real Ivorian public opinion ? Or have we consulted the Ivorian people ?
Without these paths, the decision that is made is arbitrary and despotic.
Planète Paix rises in consequence, against such an attacking decision against democracy which does not honor the Cote d’Ivoire and its people who nevertheless hold sovereignty.
The exercise of such a right of withdrawal in a time close to the provisional order made by the Court of Arusha and a few months before the presidential elections is abusive and takes away all good faith from its author.
By this decision, the Ivorian authorities decided to withdraw from their citizens and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) the right to directly seize the African court of human and peoples’ rights.
By this rough decision, the Ivorian authorities give themselves a much wider and dangerously sufficient margin of maneuver to trample in profusion the rights of these citizens being understood that from now on the citizens (the weakest); and NGOs (the voice of the voiceless) are deprived of their essential rights to have recourse to the ACHPR when they have failed to obtain justice before national courts.
Such an unjustifiable and indefensible decision, which cannot be based on the rational principle of law, carries ineffable legal insecurity against the Ivorian people in particular and the peoples of African countries in general, however real holders of sovereignty.
Planète Paix calls for the vigilance and responsibility of the national and international community on the issue.
Planète Paix sadly notes with bitterness that in Côte d’Ivoire and in many African countries, democracy is sick of the political politics of these politicians.
Planète Paix invites the Ivorian authorities to admit that such a decision is a gross error and to pull themselves together because no State today can lock up or confine rights.
“A State is not like on the ground that it sits an inheritance ; it is a society of Men who alone can dispose of itself.”, Emmanuel Kant in Philosophical Essay on perpetual peace.
Planète Paix, Peace Organization, for Peace and Human Rights recalls that the law cannot accommodate personal and personalized tailoring, tailor-made and considers that such a decision is a forfeiture which cannot serve as an example in a world that only demands protection of human and peoples’ rights.
This augurs, no doubt, of a definite threat to the upcoming elections.
Planète Paix is therefore worried about the outcome of the upcoming elections and asks the national and international community to act as quickly as possible to save the sincerity of the vote, democracy, guarantee legal security, safety, life and rights of Ivorian citizens as well as citizens of other countries threatened by such an anti-democratic decision.

The Council of Champions of the NGO Planète Paix urgently met on Saturday March 28, 2020 to reflect on the current situation of the Covid-19 pandemic which today constitutes a serious global health problem and a psychosis limiting any socio-economic activity. The Council of Country Champions came up with 7 recommendations and asked states :

1- immediate and adequate care of infected people ;
2- a systematic general lockdown of three or seven days, the sole purpose of which is to allow mass screening by specialists with the effect of isolating sick people to treat them;
3- a mass disinfection operation in public places
4- the distribution free of charge of masks ;
5- financial support for populations throughout the lockdown periods;
6- the organization of an aid plan for diaspora nationals and the voluntary repatriation of these with accompanying measures ;
7- the granting of necessary means to traditional healers, doctors, pharmacists, virologists, infectiologists, epidemiologists and other local researchers in order to find an adequate treatment for the disease that is gnawing at the PLANETE.

Under recommendation 7, it notably calls on African states to trust their local researchers.

The Council also made the mid-term review of preparations for CAMEROON 2020. It considered that the assessment was satisfactory and expressed the wish to see the current situation of the Coronavirus pandemic find a rapid and definitive solution for the actual holding of the Summit.

Virtual meeting of 03/23/2020

The Country Champions Council

PLANETE PAIX has witnessed, with dismay, gross human rights violations by security forces, particularly in certain African countries.

PLANETE PAIX, Organization for Human Rights and Peace, is against violence in all its forms.

PLANETE PAIX therefore calls on the competent authorities, who must not understand the State of Emergency and respect for human rights separately. It calls on authorities to take all the necessary measures to ensure that such acts, which are assault and not law, do not happen again.

PLANETE PAIX is closely following the situation of Coronavirus disease through its Representations around the world.

A joint reflection of all the Country Champions and Champions will soon lead to concrete proposals which will be communicated to our respective authorities and to our populations.

Prompt recovery to all COVID-19 patients
Down with Coronavirus disease ;
Strong health to healthy people ;
Peace in the world ;
Long live humanity!
