Human rights under the Malawian constitution
D. Chirwa
In 1994, Malawi adopted an unusually progressive constitution, unprecedented in the country?s history, and this book examines the constitutional provisions and the relevant judgments and legislative measures with a view to constructing a coherent corpus of human rights jurisprudence. The book draws on a wealth of comparative jurisprudence, including that from other African countries, and provides useful insights into the ways in which the Malawian constitution has departed from the English common-law-based system. Analyzing the foundation for the rule of law that has ushered in an era of accelerated development in Malawi, this book ultimately reveals that it is possible for human rights to grow even in underdeveloped countries.
