Human Rights and State Collapse in Africa

Babafemi Akinrinade

4.9/5 (13531 ratings)

Description:This book examines the various factors responsible for the phenomenon of State collapse in Africa. The author demonstrates that the role of human rights violations is critical to understanding the phenomenon of State collapse. Sierra Leone and Somalia are used as case studies to examine the impact human rights violations have in the processes that lead to collapse due to the absence of effective State authorities. The analysis shows that the difference in success of international action is due to the huge attention paid to accountability for human rights violations in Sierra Leone, but which has been absent in Somalia. The author concludes that given the role that human rights violations play in State collapse, human rights protection must have primacy in State rebuilding efforts. There is a need to build a human rights culture, which should include accountability efforts to address gross violations of human rights that have occurred in the past in order to lay a solid foundation for the future. Contemporary international law needs to come to terms with the phenomenon of State collapse, including an unambiguous outlining of the responsibility of non-State actors, who become the main actors in situations of total anarchy and chaos.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
