Least corrupt, dirty volts
Purpose This paper aims to examine the Swiss Paradox and bias of dominant global indices, such as Transparency International, despite Switzerland being among the leading safe havens for illicit wealth. The paper argues that while corruption is widespread in Africa, countries in the Global North, including Switzerland, are enablers and accomplices in transferring illicit wealth. Additionally, the paper uses the concept of Afropolitanism to challen…

To give a dog a bad name to kill it – Cameroon’s anti-terrorism law as a strategic framework for human rights’ violations
Since the enactment of Cameroon’s anti-terrorism law in 2014, the government has embarked on systemic violation of fundamental human rights and freedoms. In this article, I identify and examine instances of human rights violation perpetrated by the government of Cameroon through the anti-terrorism law. I argue that the law is increasingly being used as a strategic framework to suppress the exercise and enjoyment of fundamental rights in Cameroon.…
Land Grabbing and Customary Land Rights in Uganda
Despite the constitutional and legislative guarantee to land in Uganda, customary land tenure seems to suffer from inadequate legal protection, a situation that is analogous to that in the colonial and the immediate post-independence era. This article critically examines the normative content of the constitutional and legislative right to land in Uganda and argues that the customary land right is not adequately protected as the other categories o…
The SDGs and the bio-economy
This article analyses the contributory role of the bio-economy and the UN General Assembly Sustainable Development Goals in facilitating and fostering land-grabbing in sub-Saharan Africa. It argues that with the rapidly increasing demand for land and the use of agricultural produce for food and energy purposes, the bio-economy, together with the Sustainable Development Goals, has inexorably exacerbated the practice of land-grabbing in sub-Saharan…
A Rights-Based Approach to Foreign Agro-Investment in Cameroon
This article investigates and illustrates the role and importance of a rights-based approach to foreign agro-investment for the government of Cameroon when it is required to govern foreign agro-investment activities. In doing so, the article offers an analytical framework based on human rights norms, principles and standards emerging from relevant international and regional human rights instruments. It aims to provide clarity on how local communi…
A comparative analysis of the right to access to environmental information in South Africa and Uganda
Even though the Ugandan legal framework on the right to access to environmental information has been described as one of the best in East Africa, it raises some legal concerns that could conceivably result in the limitation of the effectiveness of the right to access to information in the country. For example, the legal framework obliges only public bodies and not also private bodies to disclose vital information to the public. Also, there is gre…
