The essence of human rights and their dimension goes beyond national level. It is universal because it is inherent to human kind. The main source of human rights norms is international human rights instruments. The concern for human rights has grown worldwide and therefore they have been given priority by most nations. They are more and more integrated into national legal frameworks mainly in states constitutions with more or less enforcing mechanisms. As far as the realization of rights is concerned various mechanisms are involved on different levels: international, regional and national. Each of the three levels has its advantages and disadvantages. Yet, the local mechanisms appear to be more effective and adequate given the fact that they are closer to the real subject of the rights (the individuals). In point of fact, human rights involve mainly the relationships between individuals and states but sometimes also between individuals living somewhere in a nation. http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ nf2012 Centre for Human Rights LLM 2012-04-25T07:52:09Z 2012-04-25T07:52:09Z 2011/10/28 Mini Dissertation Rubagumya, JC 2011/10/28, Application of international Human Rights instruments (IHRIs) by domestic courts : a comparative study of Rwanda and Ghana, LLM Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/18622> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/18622 en University of Pretoria application/pdf University of Pretoria |
