Abstract

H.E. Joaquim Alberto Chissano remarks highlighted on the vision of African leaders of shaping the African Union with the bodies capable of fulfilling the legitimate aspirations of our peoples, continued to gain momentum. The Peace and Security Council held its first session at the level of Heads of State and Government, taking important decisions, the most important of which, was the sending of a humanitarian mission to observe the cease-fire in Darfur, in the Sudan. The launching of the Peer Review Mechanism expresses our commitment to good economic, political and corporate governance, within the framework of NEPAD. The history of our Organization resembles that of our own. It was here at the OAU and in the camps of Mozambique where we grew up.
