In Human Rights Under African Constitutions: Realizing the Promise for Ourselves, scholars from a wide range of fields present a sober, systematic assessment of the prospects for legal protection of human rights in Africa. In a series of detailed and highly contextual studies of Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Morocco, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan, and Uganda, experts seek to balance the socioeconomic and political diversity of these nations while using the same theoretical framework of legal analysis for each case study.Standards for human rights protection can be realized only through direct and strong support from a nation's legal and political institutions. The contributors to this volume uniformly conclude that a well-informed and motivated citizenry is the most powerful force for creating the political will necessary to effect change at the national level. In addition to a critical evaluation of the current state of human rights protection in each of these African nations, the contributors outline existing national resources available for protecting human rights and provide recommendations for more effective and practical use of these resources.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 155mmContributor: Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im (Edited by)Author: Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'imGenre: Law & PoliticsBook Series: Pennsylvania Studies in Human RightsRelease Year: 2003 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
