Human rights are viewed as a bundle of interrelated, interdependent and mutually supporting civil and po…

South Africa's Constitution is relatively unique in its comprehensive inclusion of socio-economic rights as enforceable rights. The …

'Community' entails networks of social relationships that function to create spaces of shared sign …
