The first pilot study in Niger by the African Commission of Human Rights and Peoples' Rights regarding the rights of migrants in Africa.

This paper seeks to highlight an important step towards the protection of migrants' rights in Africa. The African Commission of Human Rights and Peoples' Rights through the Resolution ACHPR/Res. 404 (LXII) 2018 highlighted a series of ad hoc studies for migration and respect for human rights with the aim of acquiring the parameters to improve the effectiveness of its territories. In 2019, according to the powers attributed to Article 45 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, the African Commission of Human Rights and Peoples' Rights proposed the first study in the Nigerian state. A report was also adopted by the committees of the UN, as a document that does not aim to put the spotlight on individual state failures but to investigate on the basis of the data that is obtained as a problem of its own generality. The Commission believes that migration is not an ex se problem but a natural phenomenon which leads to the exercise of the right to freedom of movement which has been sanctioned and protected by international human rights law and focused on serious violations of human dignity especially in the period of displacement. This is a research result that examines the human rights situation in Niger as a state of departure and transit and which provides an analysis to a regulatory, institutional and strategic framework of the state on the protection of migrants. The results are highlighted in the positions that are taken by the African Commission and in cases of violation of the rights that are enshrined in the charter and towards migrants from a comparative perspective and in connection with other international bodies.
