Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Namibia

The independence of Namibia in 1990 was an important landmark on the changing political landscape of Africa. The process towards this independence in itself was a unique and irreversible transformation, resulting in a sovereign democratic nation state.

The Constitution of the new nation is also unique, and is considered to be one of the most modern worldwide. It includes a Bill of Rights, which is based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and protects all the basic civil and political rights.

This publication focuses on major aspects and the current condition of the management of the rule of law and the observance of basic human rights in Namibia, and attempts to critically analyze the successes and failures.
