HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL
54th session

Following the military takeover of Niger on July 26, 2023, regional institutions and international organizations such as ECOWAS, UEMOA, the AU, the World Bank and the European Union began taking unprecedented measures against Niger and its people. These economic and financial sanctions have an impact on the human rights of the entire population of Niger, especially in rural areas.
