The Pan African Parliament (PAP) approved a model law intended to transform the Police services in Africa from what they termed as oppressive to one that respects and promotes democracy and peoples rights. The new model law envisages that the Police Service will be an independent, responsible, accountable and professional civilian law enforcement agency that respects, protects and promotes human rights.
