Abstract:
There is significant debate in the literature having to do
with what constitutes human rights. At the most basic
level, human rights are the rights one has simply because
they are human (Donnelly 2008). Framed this way, the
concept puts all individuals on equal footing: human
rights are inalienable and universal. Accordingly, if one is
a human being, one is entitled to human rights.
Description:
It can be concluded on the whole that promoting equal and
effective access to justice to be at the forefront of
promoting and ensuring human rights are not abused thus
contributing to an environment where human rights needs
can be met. This was indicated by 92.5% who agreed.
The findings revealed that the commission provides
frameworks to address adequate, effective, and prompt
reparation for harm suffered. This was indicated by 87.6%
who disagreed. However, little had been achieved due to
the challenges the commission faces in providing prompt
reparation of harm.
The field findings revealed that the Commission should
provide a comprehensive and contextual account of
peoples’ concrete needs and the factors endangering their
survival.
