UCTD Democracy Human rights Governance 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 Mrs. Christina Dowuona-Hammond at the Faculty of Law, University of Leyon, Ghana. 2010. It is generally acknowledged that development is impossible in the absence of true democracy, respect for human rights, peace and good governance1 Good governance and human rights are mutually reinforcing. In turn, ‘good governance and good public administration are essential aspects of democracy and for achieving democracy a freely functioning, well organised, vibrant and responsible civil society is indispensable.’Democracy presupposes free elections, functioning political parties, independent media and active civil society organisations (CSOs) that can operate freely.4 Human rights are better promoted and protected in a democratic system.5 Accordingly it is submitted that a measure taken by a government which undermines key elements and role players of such a system tends to undermine the protection and promotion of human rights. http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ Centre for Human Rights LLM 2011-06-13T06:51:04Z 2011-06-13T06:51:04Z 10-Oct Mini Dissertation * Teferi, DA 2010, 'Role of civil society organisations in the realisation of human rights in Africa and the effect of regulatory mechanisms on their functions : Ethiopia and Ghana perspective', University of Pretoria, Faculty of Law, Centre for Human Rights. http://hdl.handle.net/2263/16793 en LLM Dissertations Centre for Human Rights University of Pretoria application/pdf University of Pretoria |
