Enforcement Mechanisms in Kenyan Domestic Courts
type: item
description: This study examines the enforcement mechanisms employed by Kenyan domestic courts to ensure compliance with human rights law. The methodology involves a comparative analysis of case studies from various Kenyan courts between and , using legal documents, court records, and expert interviews to assess the implementation and outcomes of enforcement mechanisms. A significant finding is the high proportion (75%) of cases where human rights laws were not fully enforced due to procedural delays and resource constraints, highlighting a need for systemic reforms. The study concludes that while some courts have successfully implemented robust enforcement strategies, widespread adherence remains challenging, necessitating comprehensive legal and administrative improvements. Recommendations include developing clear guidelines on human rights law application, enhancing judicial training, and improving court infrastructure to facilitate faster and more effective enforcement of human rights laws.

Adherence Rates of Migrant Workers' Legal Protection Mechanisms in East African Ports
type: item
description: This study examines migrant workers' adherence to legal protection mechanisms in East African ports, focusing on workplace rights awareness campaigns conducted in South Africa. The study employed a qualitative research approach, conducting semi-structured interviews with migrant workers, employers, and officials involved in enforcement of workplace regulations at selected ports. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Interviews revealed that while awareness campaigns had raised basic knowledge about rights and responsibilities among some workers (35% reported increased understanding), adherence rates remained low due to socio-economic challenges and limited enforcement mechanisms. While awareness levels have improved, sustained efforts are needed to enhance compliance with legal protections. Strategies should focus on addressing practical barriers such as language differences and economic pressures. Policy makers should consider implementing targeted interventions that address specific issues faced by migrant workers, while employers must be held more accountable for ensuring adherence to labour laws.

Elder Abuse Prevention Programmes in Rural South Sudan
type: item
description: Elder abuse is a significant social issue affecting rural communities worldwide, including South Sudan where cultural norms and legal frameworks often fail to address these issues effectively. The research employed qualitative methods including semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation within four selected villages. Data was analysed using thematic content analysis. A notable finding is that the programmes led to a significant increase in awareness about elder abuse among participants, with over 70% of respondents indicating an improvement in recognising signs of abuse compared to baseline levels. The preventive elder abuse programmes demonstrated promising outcomes in fostering positive behavioural changes towards elder care within rural South Sudanese communities. These findings provide evidence for the effectiveness of culturally tailored interventions in this context. Further research should focus on replicating these success stories across other regions and incorporating gender-specific approaches to address unique challenges faced by older women and men.

Criminal Justice Reforms and Pre-Trial Detention Reduction
type: item
description: This study examines criminal justice reforms aimed at reducing pre-trial detention in Uganda's legal system. An action research approach was employed, involving qualitative interviews with judicial officials, prosecutors, defence attorneys, and detainees. Data were analysed using thematic content analysis. The analysis revealed a significant reduction in pre-trial detention periods by approximately 30%, particularly among cases handled through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. The reforms have contributed to shorter detention times but challenges remain in fully integrating these changes into the existing legal framework. Further research should explore sustainable policy options and community-based alternatives to reduce pre-trial detention.

The Intersection of Customary and Statutory Law in Ghanaian Family Matters
type: item
description: The intersection of customary law and statutory law in Ghanaian family matters is a complex area of legal practice that reflects both historical influences and contemporary societal changes. The research employed a qualitative approach involving semi-structured interviews with judges, lawyers, community leaders, and litigants from various regions of Ghana. Data collection was conducted through face-to-face meetings and online platforms, ensuring inclusivity across different socio-economic backgrounds. Findings indicate that customary laws continue to play a significant role in resolving family disputes, particularly in rural areas where adherence to traditional practices is strong. Statutory law often serves as a fallback mechanism when customary norms are ambiguous or lacking. There is also evidence of judicial discretion allowing judges to blend elements from both legal systems. This study underscores the importance of understanding both legal traditions and judicial flexibility for effective dispute resolution in Ghanaian family matters. Given the findings, it is recommended that policymakers consider integrating customary laws into statutory frameworks where appropriate to enhance legal inclusivity and accessibility. Educational initiatives should also be developed to promote awareness about the coexistence of these legal systems.

Constitutionalism and the Rule of Law in Ethiopian Transitions,
type: item
description: Ethiopia has undergone significant political transitions since the early 2000s, including a shift from a one-party state to a federal parliamentary democracy. The research employs grounded theory methodology for its action research component, integrating qualitative interviews with stakeholders such as judges, lawyers, and civil society organizations to gather insights into current practices and challenges. Interviews revealed a mixed pattern of compliance with constitutional provisions, with some sectors showing strong adherence while others exhibit resistance or lack of enforcement. The findings suggest that while there have been notable legal advancements, the implementation and enforcement mechanisms remain weak in certain areas, necessitating further policy interventions to strengthen the rule of law. Recommendations include strengthening judicial training programmes, enhancing oversight bodies like the Ombudsman’s office, and promoting public awareness campaigns on constitutional rights and duties.

Access to Justice in Urban Slums
type: item
description: Access to justice remains a critical issue in urban slums across developing countries, including Seychelles, where vulnerable populations often face significant barriers. A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining in-depth interviews with community focus groups and statistical analysis of legal aid service utilization data over a two-year period. In the urban slum areas studied, only 30% of vulnerable populations reported using formal legal services, highlighting a significant gap between available justice mechanisms and actual usage. The findings suggest that improving accessibility and affordability of legal aid services could significantly enhance access to justice for urban slum residents in Seychelles. Policy recommendations include expanding outreach programmes and subsidizing legal aid services to promote greater use among vulnerable populations.
