Description: "Whilst existing literature on human rights in Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe has concentrated primarily on whether these rights are protected, this book critically examines the role and relevance of international human rights law in the process of protection. It argues that international human rights law does have a role to play in the protection and, indeed, the enforcement of human rights in these countries and that there is an emerging trend to that effect."--BOOK JACKET.
