Abstract
A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Law University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Law (LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa). Prepared under the supervision of Mr Imeru Tamirat, Faculty of Law, Addis Ababa University - Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa))--University of Pretoria, 2009. - While exploring the new forms of pollution in Africa, this study also focuses on the 2006 toxic dumping incident in Cote d'Ivoire viewed by commentators as the biggest scandal of the 21st century. Looks at the incident from a human rights approach considering the linkages between the human rights suffering and the environment and also the right to enjoy the best attainable state of physical and mental health. - http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ |
