    "content": "marginalised groups within the countries, including women and youth. The role of the civil society is among the objectives pronounced in the AU Constitutive Act. This particular instrument that I call the AU Constitution talks more about peace and security. Africa has been bedevilled by the scourge of conflict for a long time. Today, the AU has a Peace and Security Commission that sits exactly like what happens in the Security Council to address conflict on this continent. The old OAU Charter provided for non- interference in the internal affairs of African States. That means that whatever happened within an African State, the OAU was mute. But this Constitutive Act provides that the AU, where we are bidding for the Chairmanship of the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, is stronger today than it was under OAU. Today, the Commission has so many Directorates under it: economic, social, educational, and human rights division. They enable it to address the issues of Africa. The other important things that you find in this Constitutive Act of the African Union Relating to the Pan- African Parliament are democracy, good governance, and public participation."
