A delegation from the Office of Citizen Protection (OPC) took part in Côte d'Ivoire (West Africa) on 25 and 26 November 2017 at the 6th Statutory Congress of the Francophone Association of National Human Rights Commissions (AFCNDH) under the theme "The role of National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) in the promotion and protection of migrant people: standards, good practices and challenges".

During these two days, about twenty NHRIs shared their experiences in their involvement in the fight for the respect of the rights of migrants, with special emphasis on the situation of women and children.

Me Renan Hedouville, Protector of the Citizen of Haiti discussed with his counterparts and other Heads of Delegation of opportunities for exchange programs. In his speech to the Congress, Hedouville argued that the non-respect of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights was one of the elements that favors the migration crisis around the world.

At this Congress Renan Hedouville was accompanied by Me Amoce Auguste Director of Protection of Protection of Human Rights, Me Vladimyr Gassant Director of Cabinet and Me Pierre Roldy Maurice, Departmental Director of the South.
