Country Reports: Ivory Coast
At the request of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, an EAAF member joined a fact-finding mission to the Ivory Coast from December 26-29. The mission's purpose was to gather evidence of human rights violations, to assess accusations against both government and anti-government armed forces, and to assist in the peace process.
In early 2001, one EAAF member joined the United Nations Commission of Inquiry for Côte d'Ivoire, investigating violent episodes surrounding two elections that left more than 250 dead.
