the victims in a legal limbo. Furthermore, the Government did not provide Said and Yarg with the necessary support to integrate them in to the society to ensure their equal enjoyment of rights under the Charter. Hence, the Committee concludes that the failure of the Government to prevent the discriminatory treatment in the enjoyment of rights recognized under the Charter, as well as the failure to provide effective remedy is a violation of the Respondent State’s under article 3. 65.The Committee duty to protect also deliberated the right to non-discrimination on the Applicant’s submission regarding position to pronounce that the Respondent State has breached its duty to Mauritania’s breach of its negative obligation to respect, by systematically failing to enforce the 2007 anti-slavery law. The Committee notes that the duty to respect requires states to refrain from interfering with or inhibiting the exercise of a right. In this regard, it is the Committee’s view that the Complainants could not provide sufficient evidence which proves that the Respondent State directly interfere in the enjoyment of the rights to nondiscrimination of the two brothers. Hence, the Committee is not in a respect the right to non-discrimination. Alleged violation of article 4 on the best interest of the child 66.The best interest of the child, as provided in article 4 of the African Children’s Charter, should be the primary consideration in all actions involving and affecting children. The Committee considers the best interest of the child to be one of the general principles which guide the interpretation and implementation of the rights contained in the Charter. The principle of the best interest of the child is applicable in all actions or omissions undertaken by any person including State and non-State actors. °° In addition, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) indicated that the best interest of the child has a procedural content in the sense that the decisions concerning children should be made after assessing the possible implication on the rights and welfare of the child.** Hence all actions and inactions that concern children must be undertaken only if they are in the best interest of the child. °° The Committee concurs with the UNCRC that the best interest of the child is flexible and adaptable so that it can be applied to the needs of children taking into account their specific circumstances.*° 67.In the current Communication, the Complainants alleged that Mauritania has contravened article 4 of the Charter on the best interest of the Child as it failed to implement its anti-slavery law; to bring prompt action against the slave masters of Said and Yarg; to bring charges involved in the slavery; and to hear the appeal on time. against all persons °8 The Centre for Human Rights and La Rencontre Africaine Pour La Defense Des Droits De L’homme V Senegal, ACERWC Communication no. 003/Com/001/2012, 2015 para 35. 34 UNCRC General Comment no 14 para 6(c). 35 As above para 17. 38 As above para 32. 19
