Compliance with International Human Rights Law in Africa : Essays in Honour of Frans Viljoen Hardback

Hardback

Description

This collection of essays in honour of Frans Viljoen shines a light on the increasingly important place of compliance in international law.

With essays from leading scholars in the field of international human rights law, this festschrift provides compelling analysis of the nature of compliance in the African human rights context, the challenges that affect its place in these legal systems, and the ways in which increased compliance can be achieved. The volume is divided into three parts exploring: theoretical perspectives, thematic perspectives, and institutional perspectives.

Each in turn helps to build a picture of theory and practice charting the historic developments of human rights law with several case studies to illustrate.

Contributors provide detailed comparison with other national legal systems, such as the Inter-American IACHR and Court, placing these reflections in their global comparative context.

The work concludes by considering the ways in which challenges can be overcome to achieve increased compliance with international human rights law in Africa.

Compliance with International Human Rights Law in Africa is not only a work to honour the contributions of Frans Viljoen but is also an invaluable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, in the field of international human rights law.
