Abstract
The foundations of 'peace' as a value for the promotion of human rights in Africa
Highlights
The promotion of human rights in Africa is seen against the background of their development within the framework of international human rights.[1]
Difference in the decision-making process.[28]. These principles denote the several strengths of the value-based approach, which include the establishment of specific government accountability in promoting peace; addressing a broad range of legal, socio-political and cultural determinants of peace; the emphasis on the importance of setting specific goals and targets for the achievement of human rights; the monitoring and evaluation of the progress made towards the achievement of human rights; insistence on good governance; and stressing the need for transparency and participation in efforts to secure human rights.[29]
The article argues that Africa is faced with a pressing need to integrate ‘peace’ as a value into the domain of human rights protection on the continent
Summary
This article identifies ‘peace’ as a strategic value in promoting human rights in Africa. The objective is to juxtapose the theoretical and practical foundations of ‘peace’ as a conceptual basis for the promotion of human rights into a substantive reality. The article does not examine the status of Africa’s political context as such, an undertaking which will redirect the envisaged assumption of the stability of African governments in the regulation of state authority. The article is premised on the notion that such stability may provide a foundation for ‘peace’ as a value that is likely to create an environment conducive to greater respect for all human rights
