Human Rights Under the Malawian Constitution
In 1994, Malawi adopted an unusually progressive constitution, unprecedented in the country’s history, and this book examines the constitutional provisions and the relevant judgments and legislative measures with a view to constructing a coherent corpus of human rights jurisprudence.
