- W606742014 abstract "The principal objective of this study is to examine and evaluate the role of the judiciary in the enforcement of human rights in Zambia. Traditionally, the function of the judiciary is to adjudicate between two or more disputants over an issue or issues brought before the Court by either party.The prevailing legal framework for the protection, promotion and enforcement of human rights in the country is contained in the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land. The Bill of Rights is enshrined in Pan iii of the Constitution. It has been so entrenched since the country attained its independence in 1964.The Bill of Rights guarantees the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual regardless of race, place of origin, colour, political opinion, sex or status in society The Bill lays emphasis on civil and political rights and is fashioned on what is commonly known as the Neo-Nigenan style where most rights and freedoms of the individual are encumbered by derogations or exception clauses.The Constitution vests judicial power in the Supreme Court, the High Court the Industrial Relations Court.

Paper guarantees of human rights are illusory if they are not capable of enforcement.The return to multi-party politics in 1991 with its emphasis on democratic governance, heightened the quest for the enjoyment of individual liberties and freedom in the country. The observance of human rights is now being seen as a condition precedent to democratic governance.Under the new dispensation, Zambia which has ratified both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the African Charter on Human and People's Rights, has a duty to exalt and provide effective institutional and legal frameworks for the protection of fundamental human rights. The judiciary is certainly the most effective framework among various mechanims that the…" @default.
