Human rights under the Malawian constitution (Paperback)

In 1994, Malawi adopted an unusually progressive Constitution,
unprecedented in the country's political and constitutional
history. 'Human Rights under the Malawian Constitution' takes stock
of the human rights jurisprudence generated by the new Constitution
and the new judiciary in Malawi over the past sixteen years. The
book examines the largely unreported Malawian cases and legislation
and systematically analyses them with a view to constructing a
coherent corpus of human rights jurisprudence, which is essential
to consolidating democracy, establishing the foundation for the
rule of law and ushering in an era of accelerated development in
Malawi. The author draws on a wealth of international and
comparative jurisprudence, including that from other African
countries, without detracting from the main objective of
constructing a Malawian brand of jurisprudence. Ultimately the book
reveals that it is possible for human rights to grow even in
underdeveloped countries. 'Human Rights under the Malawian
Constitution' is intended for use by judges, lawyers, legal
scholars, students, civil society, law reform officers, human
rights institutions and comparative law scholars.

_______________________________________________ ' This book] makes
a significant contribution to African constitutional law. The
author has engaged in a careful and systematic treatment of all of
the clauses contained in Malawi's Bill of Rights, as well as the
jurisprudence which has been developed by its courts over the past
16 years .... Accordingly, this is a work which anyone who wishes
to engage in African constitutional law in general and Malawian law
in particular will be required to use as a major source of
reference.' Dennis Davis, Judge of the High Court of South Africa;
Honorary Professor of Law, University of Cape Town ' This book]
fills a gap in the literature of human rights in the region with
its excellent examination of the Malawian provisions. It is well
written and will appeal to a wider readership than Malawi.' Boyce
Wanda, Professor of Law, University of Fort Hare
