Introduction to Human Rights Law (2nd edition) (eBook)
Author: Avinash Govindjee
Format: Digital
This textbook, aimed at first- or second-year students, introduces human rights law in a comprehensive, but easy-to-understand manner.
Because courts must promote the spirit, purport and objects of the Bill of Rights when doing their work, a meaningful understanding of human rights principles is necessary for a proper application of the South African law in general. The text contains a number of scenarios to help reader grasp the material being discussed by illustrating relevant constitutional principles and issues. Cases are integrated in to the text in a manner which should facilitate an understanding of their application.
