Product Description
Constitutional Law of the Republic of Namibia (ePub)
Author: S Akweenda
Format: Digital
Constitutional Law of the Republic of Namibia offers a comprehensive account of Namibian Constitutional law. Judicial review of administrative action and the remedies to be awarded by the courts to aggrieved persons are addressed. The book also gives an account of the principles of human rights and many areas of international law.
Constitutional Law of the Republic of Namibia is primarily intended for courts, legal practitioners, academics, law students and administrators. It will also be of immense value to Members of Parliament and scholars of political science, international relations, and history.
The work addresses the power vested in the President in terms of article 26 to declare, by proclamation, a state of emergency and to make regulations, including the power to suspend the operation of any rule of the common law or statute or any fundamental right or freedom protected by the Constitution.
Constitutional Law of the Republic of Namibia also includes commentary on the powers, duties and functions of the Office of the Ombudsman, the Anti-Corruption Commission, the Judicial Service Commission, the Public Service Commission, the Security Commission, the Central Bank and the National Planning Commission. The courts have, indeed, clarified the powers, duties and functions of these offices, ministries and agencies.
