- W2616014736 abstract "This chapter explains why in controversial equality cases Namibian higher courts prefer comparative law over international law. For that purpose, the chapter discusses the holdings of the Namibian Supreme Court on the issue of sexual orientation in the case of Chairperson of the Immigration Selection Board v Frank and Another. It concludes that legitimacy is the most plausible explanation for the judicial preference for comparative law over international law in Namibia. The central argument is that higher courts prefer comparative law in controversial equality cases because the values attributed to the international community cannot sustain judgments where they contradict local values, especially in cases involving unpopular minorities. The legitimacy argument also indicates which legal position in a foreign legal system is closest to guiding court decisions in a given controversial equality case. It is the most credible account of why, despite its connection to international law by a constitutional umbilical cord, the interpretive practice of Namibian higher courts prefers the legal position in sister states over international law in controversial equality cases." @default.
