UCTD Welfare promotion Malawi Bill of Rights Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2010. A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Law University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Law (LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa). Prepared under the supervision of Prof. Ben K. Twinomugisha of the Faculty of Law, University of Makerere. 2010. Malawi reverted to multiparty politics in 1993.1 A new Republican Constitution,2 (the Constitution) with a Bill of Rights was provisionally adopted on 18 May 1994 and it entered into force on 18 May 1995.3 Chapter 3 thereof deals with fundamental principles upon which the Constitution is founded and Principles of National Policy (PNP). Section 13(c) of the Constitution which falls under the PNP deals with health. It is to the effect that ‘the State shall actively promote the welfare and development of the people of Malawi by progressively adopting and implementing policies and legislation aimed at achieving adequate healthcare, commensurate with the health needs of Malawian society and international standards of healthcare’. According to section 14 of the Constitution, PNP are only directory in nature. Courts are obliged to have regard to them in the interpretation and application of the Constitution or any other law or in the determination of the validity of executive decisions. In the light of the foregoing, arguably, the right to health is not justiciable under the Constitution. http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ Centre for Human Rights LLM 2011-06-09T13:12:34Z 2011-06-09T13:12:34Z 10-Oct Mini Dissertation * Mambulasa, MD 2010, '(Non)-regulation of the health insurance industry and its potential impact on the rights to health and life : a comparative analysis of Malawi and South Africa', University of Pretoria, Faculty of Law, Centre for Human Rights. http://hdl.handle.net/2263/16767 en LLM Dissertations Centre for Human Rights University of Pretoria application/pdf University of Pretoria |
