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 Michelo Hansungule of the Centre of Human Rights, Faculty of Law, University of Pretoria The study is critically analysing the current legal framework in Malawi in so far as the right to equality and non-discrimination in the work place and the right to work for people with physical disabilities (PWPDs) is concerned. The paper will assess whether Malawi’s legal framework effectively protects the right to equality and non-discrimination in the work place for PWPDs in conformity with international standards. Finally, the paper will, in the event that Malawi’s legal framework does not conform to international standards, offer suggestions on how it can be reformed to comply with international standards, especially the Convention on the Rights of People With Disabilities http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ Centre for Human Rights LLM 2008-11-24T09:59:13Z 2008-11-24T09:59:13Z 2008 Mini Dissertation Jere, VM 2008, The right to equality in the work place for persons with physical disablities in Malawi : does the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilites offer any hope?, LLM Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/8059> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/8059 en LLM Dissertations Centre for Human Rights, Law Faculty, University of Pretoria application/pdf University of Pretoria
