Abidjan Principles on the Right to Education

The Abidjan Principles were developed by a committee of experts following a three-year consultation process to clarify the aspects of existing international human rights law that pertain to education and provide guidance on their implementation. Adopted in 2019, they have been recognized as an authoritative interpretive text by international and regional bodies such as the United Nations Human Rights Council,[1] the European Committee of Social Rights,[2] the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights,[3] and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.[4] Their purpose is to offer states and other actors a reference frame for addressing tensions and questions related to the involvement in education of private and commercial entities.
