Abstract

The enforcement of human rights law in domestic courts is crucial for ensuring that legal protections are effectively applied to individuals within Kenyan communities. The research employs a quantitative survey of judges, lawyers, and court officials in selected regions across Kenya, complemented by qualitative interviews to explore perspectives on enforcement challenges and successes. A notable finding is the significant variation in compliance rates among courts, with some demonstrating higher efficacy in applying human rights laws compared to others. The study highlights the importance of judicial training and resource allocation for better human rights law enforcement. Enhanced training programmes and improved access to resources are recommended to support enhanced enforcement mechanisms.
