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 Christine Dowuona-Hammond Faculty of Law, University of Ghana, Legon Accra. The purpose of this work is to examine the nature or form of disability rights, and whether the African regional human rights system adequately protects them. In other words, the study tries to understand whether the current appalling status of people living with disabilities can be blamed on normative paucity of the African human rights system. The author will therefore comb the African human rights instruments to determine this, and based on the findings, will assess the propriety or otherwise of adopting a disability specific instrument for the continent and recommend accordingly. http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ Centre for Human Rights LLM 2008-05-22T09:26:17Z 2008-05-22T09:26:17Z 2007 Mini Dissertation Dube, AB 2007, Protection of the rights of persons living with disabilities under the African human rights system, LLM Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/5441> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/5441 en LLM Dissertations Centre for Human Rights, Law Faculty, University of Pretoria 203944 bytes application/pdf application/pdf University of Pretoria |
