From 20 to 25 June 2022, Rwanda will host the 2022 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM). The meeting was due to be held in 2020 but has been delayed twice due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
This will be the first in-person meeting of Commonwealth leaders since the London CHOGM in 2018. Prince Charles will represent the Queen and open the meeting. The UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, will also hand over the role of chair-in-office of the Commonwealth to the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame.
Rwanda is the most recent country to have joined the Commonwealth, in 2009. This will be the first CHOGM held in Africa since Uganda in 2007.
This paper explains the background to the conference and the issues likely to arise. This includes scrutiny of Rwanda’s human rights record.
