Senegal remains resolutely committed to the promotion of human rights, social justice and dignity for all. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Senegalese Abroad encourages all national and international partners to continue to support Senegal’s efforts to protect human rights and to collaborate actively in order to achieve this common objective.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Senegalese Abroad will continue to work closely with the relevant national and international institutions to further strengthen Senegal’s human rights achievements and to consolidate the country’s commitment to this paramount question.
