Inhaltsangabe

Lindholt (legal science, U. of Copenhagen) analyzes the material provisions of the 1981 African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights from 1981, discussing the issues it raises both with respect to the theoretical aspects of human rights law, and in relations to its implementation in various African member states. She focuses in particular on the question of the universality of human rights on the local, regional, and global levels. Noting how rich countries are increasingly tying development aid to human rights, she investigates the notion and possibility of transferring human rights across cultural boundaries, especially with extensive financial and other pressure weighing in on the deal. Developed from a 1994 doctoral dissertation for the University of Copenhagen. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
