This Ghana, previously known as the Gold Coast, marked her sixty years of independence in 2017. Ghana has experienced several phases of governance: from parliamentary democracy to dictatorial one-party governance, military regimes to multi-party democratic governance. Since 1992, Ghana has enjoyed over twenty-five years of uninterrupted civilian rule. However, many argue that the current civilian regime requires immediate reforms to rectify certain fundamental flaws, particularly pertaining to democratic governance and human rights. In the light of the above, the Faculty of Law of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) organized a two-day conference, which witnessed deliberations among various stakeholders, including members of the Executive Branch of Government, Parliamentarians, the Judiciary, Academia and Civil Society. The outcome of the conference generated comprehensive papers on the evolution of law in Ghana, human rights protection in Ghana since independence, democratic governance and sustainable development of Ghana.TABLE OF CONTENTSGhana @ 60: A Personal Perspectiveby Prof S.O Gyandoh Jnr., Professor of Law Emeritus, Temple University School of Law, Philadelphia, U.S.AThe Theories of Structural Conception of Human Rights in Ghanaby Atupare AtudiweAdjudication Of Human Right Casesby The Courts by Mavis Ekua Enyamah KwainoeOver Sixty Years Of Bail Under The Ghanaian Criminal Justice Systemby Francisca Kusi-AppiahPresidential Grant Of Pardon And Rule Of Law: The Case Of Montie Trioby Lydia A.

Cette recherche porte sur les logiques et les mécanismes de la permanence des conflits ethniques en République Démocratique du Congo (RDC) et particulièrement au Sud-Kivu. Elle analyse la dynamique des formes et des pratiques politiques inventées par les entrepreneurs politiques pour tenir, intégrer, contrôler les espaces politiques et leurs manifestations sur les relations entre les groups ethniques. Cette recherche étudie ainsi le phénomène de la permanence des conflits ethniques en relation aux faits, actes, pratiques des entrepreneurs politiques et s¿interroge sur les possibilités d'un retour effectif à la paix en RDC.

A phenomenological study was undertaken to consider the essence of the lived experience of displacement as perceived by a group of ten Congolese refugees exiled in Uganda. Semi-structured individual interviews found displacement to be an experience of suffering from loss; primarily loss of home. Clearly, the ¿home¿ articulated in refugee narratives was an imagined home; imagined as the ideal place where security, love, connectedness, respect define life. In addition, Congolese refugees viewed displacement as an experience of suffering from separation, restless wandering and estrangement. Participants also reported that displacement had a negative impact on their lives. This study tied human needs theory with constructivism and framed the latter as both a driver (of conflict and flight), but also as the basis of reconstruction (needs satisfaction) that is made possible because the imagined ¿home¿ is a construct that can be reconstructed.The findings of this study point to how some refugee services might be structured (i.e. giving people a sense of home is not necessarily keeping them in a state of suspended limbo with perpetual expectations of returning to their former home, but home can be reconstructed even in the refugee locations).

Popular games is a means of endorsing social peace, equality and freedom among all strata of society. They could also ensure social security by entrenching anti-violence precept which promotes social tranquility. Games spread knowledge and experience exchange; both are cornerstones of sustainable development. They are also a means of education into the customs and tradition of various nations.»We all play¿We are all Human« should be the logo of the era on the sports, arts, and social levels so that games reflect our true and authentic universal identity.Ancient Egypt, China and India are three of the earliest countries in developing popular games.This book presents the Egyptian philosophy of popular games.Playing is a Universal Language.We play¿..We are human.

This book peruses human nature and the tragic vision in the light of William Shakespeare¿s tragedies. The three tragedies under my analysis: Hamlet, Macbeth and Othello are domestic tragedies since they raise the issue of racism and call for the conflict between husbands and their wives, between an uncle and a nephew, love and incestuous relations, disloyalty in marriage, and the notion of father and mother. Human nature is therefore striking and entirely embedded in these three Shakespearian dramas through the confrontation of male characters with female ones in a dialectics of power and reciprocal domination. This research work shows that all races and all sexes fall equally in the traps of bad human nature and cruelly endure the consequences of their pranks, their shortcomings, their imperfections, their unreasonable impulses, their excessive ambitions, their immoderate passions, their vengeance and their jealousy. The good or bad human nature then depends neither on the skin color nor on the sex of the human being: whether black or white, man or woman we are all liable to evil. Thus, this book shows that we have to develop the culture of acceptance and tolerance bearing in mind that everybody is fallible and has to feel responsible and stay watchful over his own human nature sometimes misleading, sometimes worth of praise.

This work investigates the legislative measures employed in South Africa to combat the implication of lawyers in money laundering schemes. Criminals make use of sophisticated technological means to transfer money and launderers routinely approach lawyers to assist them in their illegal endeavours. The study considers South Africäs efforts to fulfil its international anti-money laundering obligations whilst upholding the criminal procedural rights guaranteed in the Constitution. Unfortunately, in its quest to combat money laundering, Parliament did not consider seriously enough the position of lawyers and took the easy option of criminalising fees paid with tainted funds, as well as the non-submission of suspicious transaction reports (STRs) and cash transaction reports (CTRs). As a result, the South African legal profession is saddled with unacceptable constraints.

L¿exploitation de l¿or à l¿Est de la République Démocratique du Congo est une source des conflits entre les populations locales et l¿industrie extractive. Dans la chefferie de Luhwinja en particulier, les mines artisanales de Kadumwa et Lukungurhi opposent les exploitants miniers artisanaux et BANRO CORPORATION. Les exploitants artisanaux rejettent la demande de BANRO CORPORATION de quitter ces mines qui, depuis plusieurs années garantit l¿économie des ménages et structurent la vie sociale dans les villages environnants. La cohabitation entre l¿industrie minière extractive et l¿exploitation artisanale parait un défi dans la mise en ¿uvre d¿une exploitation minière de paix et de développement à l¿Est de la Répub-lique Démocratique du Congo.

« La crise de 1972 en province de Gitega » s¿articule sur trois chapitres. Au cours de notre travail, nous avons décrit la situation sociopolitique de la province de Gitega avant l¿éclatement des massacres de 1972. En effet, les crises sociopolitiques burundaises qui ont précédé celle de 1972 ont contribué à la structuration de la « haine ethnique » surtout entre les deux composantes sociales majoritaires. A cela s¿ajoute l¿impact du « modèle rwandais » lié au mouvement des réfugiés rwandais au Burundi.Après l¿attaque du 29 avril 1972 des rebelles « hutu » dans le Sud du pays, la province de Gitega a été victime de la répression qui s¿en est suivi. Cette dernière a eu pour conséquences: des pertes de nombreuses vies humaines, des pertes des biens matériels, des veuves, des orphelins tandis que d¿autres personnes ont été contraintes à l¿exil. S¿agissant des corps des victimes de cette crise, ils ont été déversés dans les fosses communes que nous avions pu indiquer via la carte dans le travail. En fin de compte, sur cette crise, de par le silence imposé par le pouvoir et le refus de tout acte mémoriel, les composantes sociales ont gardé des mémoires controversées.

This book evaluated the underlying principle of retributive theory of punishment behind the application of death penalty fort the offenders and appraised the practice of death penalty by assessing the administration of death sentence through the mode and manner of execution.The study found that death penalty met some objectives of punishment; retribution and deterrence, although there are divergent public views and opinions on the subject.The author concluded that Nigerian society still needs death penalty system against the backdrop of incessant brutal killings, violent crimes, insurgencies, hate crimes so rampant and prevailing in recent times while identified shortcomings in its operation should be addressed in order to make it more functional; and that it is the system of trial rather than the punishment is prone to errors.

The book evaluated the strategies (tools) employed by National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and National Orientation Agency (NOA) in enhancing Nigeriäs integration. It acquaints the reader with the knowledge that while newsletters and advertorials are not effective other public relations strategies (tools) such as community relations, media relations and corps members are very effective. However, ethnicity, politics of acrimony, religion, lack of social amenities and corruption pose enormous dangers to Nigeriäs integration.

This book presents the narratives of female inmates in Cameroon Prisons. The study examines the national policies and laws on living conditions in Cameroon prisons and how they relate to the lived and narrated experiences of female inmates. The author argues that policy does not always match practice with regards to prison conditions in Cameroon. To address this issue, policy must first of all address human rights issues as well as issues specific to female prisoners and adhered to these policies. Given that, government¿s efforts and the work of Non-Governmental Organisations, Faith Based Organisations and international bodies in Cameroonian prisons will only be effective if the corruption, which remains a cankerworm within the Cameroon penitentiaries, is eradicated.The Contents of this book includes Background Literature; Living conditions of female inmates in Cameroon; Prisons as Torture Chambers in Cameroon; Non-Governmental Organisations, Religion and Faith based Organisations; Conclusion, Policy Recommendations and New Direction.

Sudan is known for ethnic diversity in its various regions, and these characteristics have given it a richness of music rarely found elsewhere. Sudanese music is steeped in many traditional and modern folk songs. In this book, the author selected samples of the known and reliable stages, along with the valuable information about the authors and singers and presented in a historical context that allows the reader to identify a drop of the sea of this rich music, and multi-prepared accordion scientifically allows the academic student to recognize the capabilities of the composer and the author's capabilities in scientific preparation, also the author's melodies to benefit.

The study interrogates the persistence of the Lord¿s Resistance Army (LRA) conflict that ravaged Northern Uganda for over two decades, and the relevance of the integrated framework for peacebuilding (John-Paul Lederach, 1997) in transforming conflict relationships into peaceful relationships. The actors and approaches model and the timeframe dimension under the integrated framework are adopted as theoretical constructs for guiding the analysis. It is evident in literature and field findings that a combination of historical, internal and external factors conspired to fuel the conflict. The integrated framework offers overarching lenses for transforming the conflict and contributing to sustainable peace. To be more effective, it is vital to overcome factors that affected the peace processes and which underpin the limitation of the framework.

Depuis les années 90, les concepts des Etats fragiles, d¿Etats mous, Etats faibles, Etats défaillants et d¿Etats effondrés sont monnaie courante en éthique politique s¿il faut se référer aux théories de l¿Etat fort comme centre de régulation de l¿ordre public développées par Max Weber. La République Démocratique du Congo est l¿un de rares pays au monde qui ont franchi toutes ces caractéristiques d¿un Etat en besoin de refondation après le cycle des conflits et des guerres en continu. Parmi les facteurs qui fragilisent l¿Etat, la corruption constitue un « venin » déterminant s¿il faut considérer son caractère global et globalisant : elle fragilise tous les secteurs de la vie publique et contribue à la disparition progressive de la conscience de l¿Etat chez les Citoyens. En République Démocratique du Congo, la justice, l¿armée et la police sont les secteurs les plus affectés par la corruption. C¿est ce qüessaie de présenter ALI BITENGA dans son ouvrage que vous détenez entre les mains. Le mérite de cet ouvrage est de ne pas se limiter à l¿analyse des causes et des conséquences de cette corruption chez les policiers, mais c¿est d¿aller jusqüà la proposition des chemins éthiques du renversement de la situation.

Le document intitulé "Gestion paysanne, caractérisation agromorphologique et moléculaire des variétés locales de niébé [Vígna unguículata (L.) Walp.]" est un prérequis aux recherches visant l¿amélioration de la résilience des populations rurales par l¿intensi¿cation écologique des agrosystèmes, et est d¿intérêt pratique au double plan économique et alimentaire. Son originalité est fondée essentiellement sur le caractère pionnier et intégré d¿une telle recherche sur les ressources génétiques du niébé cultivées au Togo. ll ressort de cette étude qüau Togo, il y a vraiment une réelle menace qui plane sur la diversité du niébé à cause de plusieurs facteurs nommés dans le présent document.
