The African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child was formed in July 2001, one and half years after the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child came into force. The members are elected by the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union. The criteria for the selection of members are: # Members must be nationals of a State Party to the Children's Charter (i.e. a country that is a signatory); # They must be individuals of high moral standing, integrity, impartiality and competence in matters of the rights and welfare of the child; # Members are nominated by signatory countries and elected by the Assembly of Heads of State of the African Union; # Members are elected for a term of five years and serve voluntarily in their individual capacity. They may not be re-elected. == Meetings == The Committee of Experts meets twice each year, usually in May and November in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The exact dates depend on other items on the AU agenda around these times. They are empowered to receive and examine the country ("state") reports on the measures they have adopted to implement the provisions of the Children's Charter as well as the progress achieved regarding how the rights are being protected. The final protective function of the Committee of Experts is related to the investigations procedure. They are empowered to resort to any appropriate method of investigation in respect of any issue covered in the Children's Charter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
