Child Rights and the Law in East Africa

KShs2,320.00

This book is set against the background that the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in 1989 and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) in 1990 has revolutionized the perception of childhood and children’s rights the world over. Until then, children’s rights were seen as falling within the domain of charity, and children were treated like they were property or chattel of their parents. It is a sound foundation for streamlining the rights and protection of children in the East African countries through law both now and in the future. It will also serve as a resource material in the area of child rights and law, not only in East Africa but also across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Litigating Human Rights in African Institutions: Law, Procedures and Practice

KShs2,320.00

Africa is a continent with a myriad of courts working both jointly and severally in their endeavors to promote and protect human rights at various levels of the justice machinery. These courts have several similarities as well as differences, basically reflected in terms of their guiding principles, procedures, and practices. These diversities warrant the need to have a publication of this nature – that is, a publication that sets out the underlying legal instruments, principles, procedures, and practices obtaining in these cases. This will enable the users of these courts to have a clear understanding of the respective roles of these courts in the promotion and protection of human rights in their respective jurisdictions.
