Sikwibele, Kabukabu Chirwa, Danwood Mzikenge Human Rights Law Includes bibliographical references. Zambia's housing problems cannot be overstated. The current Constitution of Zambia does not recognise the right to adequate housing as a fundamental human right. It provides that the State shall endeavour to provide decent shelter for all but as a directive principle of state policy. In essence, as explicitly stated by the Constitution, the right to housing is not justiciable. This means that Zambians cannot approach any court, tribunal, administrative institution or entity to claim violation of the right to adequate housing. It is submitted that rights must be claimed if they are to be fully enjoyed. This thesis will discuss the importance and the need for a justiciable right to adequate housing in Zambia enshrined in the Constitution. 2014-07-30T18:21:09Z 2014-07-30T18:21:09Z 2013 Master Thesis Masters LLM http://hdl.handle.net/11427/4735 eng application/pdf Department of Public Law Faculty of Law University of Cape Town |
