Hon. Dr. Idriss Ndélé Moussa

PAP President

The Pan-African Parliament was established in March 2004, by Article 17 of The Constitutive Act of the African Union, as one of the nine Organs provided for in the Treaty Establishing the African Economic Community signed in Abuja, Nigeria, in 1991.

The establishment of the Pan-African Parliament is informed by a vision to provide a common platform for African peoples and their grass-roots organizations to be more involved in discussions and decision-making on the problems and challenges facing the continent.

The seat of the Parliament is in Midrand, South Africa.

The Pan-African Parliamentarians represent all the peoples of Africa. The ultimate aim of the Pan-African Parliament is to evolve into an institution with full legislative powers, whose members are elected by universal adult suffrage.

The objectives of the PAP

Facilitate the effective implementation of the policies and objectives of the OAU/AEC and, ultimately, of the African Union;
Promote the principles of human rights and democracy in Africa;
Encourage good governance, transparency and accountability in Member States;
Familiarize the peoples of Africa with the objectives and policies aimed at integrating the African continent within the framework of the establishment of the African Union;
Promote peace, security and stability;
Contribute to a more prosperous future for the people of Africa by promoting collective self-reliance and economic recovery;
Facilitate cooperation and development in Africa
Strengthen Continental solidarity and build a sense of common destiny among the peoples of Africa;
Facilitate cooperation among Regional Economic Communities and their Parliamentary fora.
