Despite the fact that Africa is blessed with abundant natural and human resources it has not been able to improve the living conditions of its people. Poverty and unemployment and denial of access to housing and health-care services remain a great challenge. </LI></UL> 2013-01-16T14:21:44Z http://reference.sabinet.co.za/webx/access/electronic_journals/esrrev/esrrev_v13_n3_a2.pdf <UL><LI><b>Author:</b> Durojaye, Ebeenzer Mirugi-Mukundi, Gladys </LI><LI><b>Vol 13 Issue 3</b></LI> <LI><b>Publication:</b> 2012</LI> <LI><b>Page:</b> 3-6</LI> <LI><b>Abstract:</b> Corruption remains one of the biggest obstacles to development in many African countries. While there is no universally agreed definition of corruption, attempts have been made by scholars to explain what may constitute it. According to Bayley (1966), it can be defined as the 'misuse of authority as a result of consideration of personal gain, which need not be monetary'. Friedrich (1990) puts it thus:<br/><i/>'Corruption may also arise where an individual who is granted power by society to perform certain public functions, undertakes, as a result of personal gain or reward, actions that may likely affect negatively the welfare of the society or even injure the public interest' (Fredrich 1990).</i> </LI></UL> 2013-01-16T14:21:44Z http://reference.sabinet.co.za/webx/access/electronic_journals/esrrev/esrrev_v13_n3_a3.pdf <UL><LI><b>Author:</b> Shyllon, Ololade </LI><LI><b>Vol 13 Issue 3</b></LI> <LI><b>Publication:</b> 2012</LI> <LI><b>Page:</b> 7-10</LI> <LI><b>Abstract:</b> Freedom of expression is recognised internationally as a cross-cutting right, one that is necessary for the enjoyment of all other human rights. The right to freely express one’s views and opinion and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas is inextricably linked, in any society, to the ability of individuals to play a role in strengthening democracy and promoting good governance and respect for the rule of law. The right of freedom of expression, a critical component of which is a free media, goes a long way in ensuring greater enjoyment of socio-economic rights and a nation's overall development. The free exercise of this right is important in highlighting poor service delivery and exposing corruption, maladministration and mismanagement of public funds. </LI></UL> 2013-01-16T14:21:44Z http://reference.sabinet.co.za/webx/access/electronic_journals/esrrev/esrrev_v13_n3_a4.pdf <UL><LI><b>Author:</b> Durojaye, Eebenezer Mirugi-Mukundi, Gladys Tchoumavi, Boris-Ephrem </LI><LI><b>Vol 13 Issue 3</b></LI> <LI><b>Publication:</b> 2012</LI> <LI><b>Page:</b> 10-11</LI> <LI><b>Abstract:</b> During the NGO Forum preceding the 52nd Ordinary Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights, held in Yamoussoro, Cote d'Ivoire, in October 2012, the Community Law Centre (CLC), University of the Western Cape, in conjunction with the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) held a seminar on the Special Procedures of the United Nations Human Rights Council. </LI></UL> 2013-01-16T14:21:44Z http://reference.sabinet.co.za/webx/access/electronic_journals/esrrev/esrrev_v13_n3_a5.pdf <UL><LI><b>Author:</b> Nyachae, Jacinta Ogendi, Paul </LI><LI><b>Vol 13 Issue 3</b></LI> <LI><b>Publication:</b> 2012</LI> <LI><b>Page:</b> 12-15</LI> <LI><b>Abstract:</b> On April 20, 2012, the Kenyan High Court delivered a ground-breaking decision that will, inter alia, enhance national, regional and international efforts aimed at improving access to affordable and essential medicines, including generics for people living with HIV. Indeed, the Patricia Ochieng case has been described as 'precedent-setting' and a 'trail-blazer' by both activists and academicians insofar as access to generic medicines is concerned in the context of anti-counterfeiting legislations. </LI></UL> 2013-01-16T14:21:44Z http://reference.sabinet.co.za/webx/access/electronic_journals/esrrev/esrrev_v13_n3_a6.pdf <UL><LI><b>Author:</b> Durojaye, Ebenezer </LI><LI><b>Vol 13 Issue 3</b></LI> <LI><b>Publication:</b> 2012</LI> <LI><b>Page:</b> 15</LI> <LI><b>Abstract:</b> After more than a decade of consultations, meetings and debates, the Guiding Principles on extreme poverty and human rights were finally adopted by the UN Human Rights Council during the 21st Session of the Council in Geneva, in September 2012. </LI></UL> 2013-01-16T14:21:45Z http://reference.sabinet.co.za/webx/access/electronic_journals/esrrev/esrrev_v13_n3_a7.pdf <UL><LI><b>Author:</b> Mirugi-Mukundi, Gladys </LI><LI><b>Vol 13 Issue 3</b></LI> <LI><b>Publication:</b> 2012</LI> <LI><b>Page:</b> 16</LI> <LI><b>Abstract:</b> During the 20th session of the UN Human Rights Council in July 2012, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (HCHR) released a report on technical guidance for applying a human rights-based approach to implementing policies and programmes to reduce preventable maternal morbidity and mortality. </LI></UL> 2013-01-16T14:21:45Z http://reference.sabinet.co.za/webx/access/electronic_journals/esrrev/esrrev_v13_n3_a8.pdf <UL><LI><b>Vol 13 Issue 3</b></LI> <LI><b>Publication:</b> 2012</LI> <LI><b>Page:</b> 17-18</LI> <LI><b>Abstract:</b> South Africa has one of the highest rates of maternal and child mortality internationally, with a maternal mortality ratio (MMR) of 310 deaths per 100 000 live births and an under-five mortality rate of 56 deaths per 1 000 live births. </LI></UL> 2013-01-16T14:21:45Z
