Human Rights Developments Defending Human Rights The Role of the International Community Angolan civil society lacked effective organizations to publicize or lobby on human rights issues, although church groups showed interest in human rights. The Dominican order opened the Mosaiko Cultural Center, near Luanda in 1997, which addressed human rights issues, and ran training seminars in civic and moral education. It was successful in getting access to prison warders and even the presidential guard. In January the center issued its first letter on human rights and it was also responsible for two-page spreads on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the Catholic newspaper Apostolico. The Catholic radio station, Radio Ecclesia, also maintained a broadcast slot for rights issues. The Council of Christian Churches (CICA), the Alliance of Evangelicals of Angola (AEA), and Trocaire Angola also supported training in human rights. |
