Abstract

Human rights law in Kenya is enshrined in its constitution but enforcement remains a challenge. An analytical review of relevant judicial precedents, legislative provisions, and scholarly literature.

While progress has been made, significant gaps remain in terms of uniform enforcement practices across courts. The implementation of a standardised training programme for judges and legal practitioners is recommended to enhance compliance with international human rights norms.
