International Law and Domestic Human Rights Litigation in Africa

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2010

  • Publisher: PULP

"African civil law countries are traditionally described as monist and common law countries as dualist. This book illustrates that the monism-dualism dichotomy is too simplistic, in particular in the field of human rights. Academics and practitioners from across the continent illustrate how domestic courts in Africa have engaged with international human rights law to interpret or fill gaps in national bills of rights. The authors also consider the challenges encountered in increasing the use of international human rights law by African domestic courts."--Back cover.

This insightful Research Handbook is a timely contribution to that debate.
