Judicialization of politics and the question of electoral integrity and security in Africa
Contemporary African politics shows a noticeable increase in the role of the judiciary. This is attributed to inability of political leaders to resolve political disputes and guarantee the integrity and legitimacy of political processes. Interestingly, nowhere is judicialization of politics more apparent than in the electoral processes. Utilizing a qualitative approach involving integrative documentary review, this article assessed the judicializ…

Fighting against HIV and Aids within a resource constrained rural setting
Since reports of the first incidence of the HIV virus in Zimbabwe in 1985, the epidemic has negatively impacted on every facet of human security. Rural areas, by virtue of being the periphery and constrained in terms of resources and health care provision, bear the brunt of the epidemic. In light of the above background, this paper examined how the establishment of Ruvheneko Programme by the people of Chirumhanzu helped in mitigating on the impac…
Human rights-based service delivery
English Abstract: This article examines the extent to which National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) in Ghana and Uganda contribute to the strengthening of democracy and sustainable development in those countries. A human rights-based approach is used to investigate human rights violations, marginalization, exclusions, and discrimination against vulnerable groups in society. This article examines whether NHRIs are proactive in adopting preventi…
Naming, Identity, Politics and Violence in Zimbabwe
Naming is a powerful tool for identity construction and its strength lies in a history of a nation. Identity is used to associate or disassociate with the other, history and culture or landscape and to create links with the past and the present. Politics, on the other hand, is a matter of power, struggles of masculinities and hegemony and combine with identity to become powerful tools in the production of violence. Identity and politics are joine…
The Responsibility to Protect and the Youth
The ‘Responsibility to Protect’ (R2P) as a new international intervention norm for human protection entails the reconceptualisation of state sovereignty as a responsibility rather than a right. The R2P norm has its conceptual genesis in Africa and the fact that its principles have been embraced by the African Union’s (AU) Constitutive Act is indicative of the fact that Africa is a stakeholder in the entire debate. Africa also happens to host a di…
The Human Security Implications of Operation Restore Order on Urban Habitation in Zimbabwe
This paper examines how the 2005 Operation Restore Order, popularly known as Murambatsvina, impacted on the key facets of human security on urban habitation in Zimbabwe. Precisely, the paper examines the humanitarian consequences of the clean up exercise from the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and human security dimensions. By applying one of the key principles of the R2P mandate, namely, ‘the responsibility to rebuild’, the study explored the e…
A conceptual safari
The Responsibility to Protect is a new human security paradigm that re-conceptualizes state sovereignty as a responsibility rather than a right. Its seminal endorsement by the 2005 World Summit has however not consolidated the intellectual parameters of the norm. Neither has it succeeded in galvanizing R2P's doctrinal development; hence the January 2009 appeal by the UN secretary-general for the international community to operationalize R2P at th…
