  • Fair Measure of the Right to Vote: a Comparative Perspective on Voting Rights Enforcement in a Maturing Democracy
    SCHOOL OF LAW LEGAL STUDIES RESEARCH PAPER SERIES PAPER #10-0186 JUNE 2010 FAIR MEASURE OF THE RIGHT TO VOTE: A COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE ON VOTING RIGHTS ENFORCEMENT IN A MATURING DEMOCRACY JANAI S. NELSON EMAIL COMMENTS TO: [email protected] ST. JOHN’S UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW 8000 UTOPIA PARKWAY QUEENS, NY 11439 This paper can be downloaded without charge at: The Social Science Research Network Electronic Paper Collection http://ssrn.com/abstract=1628798 DO NOT CITE OR CIRCULATE WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION OF AUTHOR ———————————————————————————————————— FAIR MEASURE OF THE RIGHT TO VOTE ———————————————————————————————————— Fair Measure of the Right to Vote: A Comparative Perspective on Voting Rights Enforcement in a Maturing Democracy Janai S. Nelson ABSTRACT Fair measure of a constitutional norm requires that we consider whether the scope of the norm can be broader than its enforcement. This query is usually answered in one of two ways: some constitutional theorists argue that the scope and enforcement of the norm are co-terminous, while others argue that the norm maintains its original scope and breadth even if it is underenforced. This Article examines the right to vote when it exists as a constitutional norm and is underenforced by both judicial and non-judicial actors. First, I adopt the position that the scope and meaning of a constitutional norm can be greater than its enforcement. Second, I rely on the argument that underenforcement results not only from judicial underenforcement but also from underenforcement by the legislative and administrative actors that are obligated to enforce constitutional norms to the fullest extent. By employing these two principles, this Article analyzes the underenforcement of the right to vote that has evaded the force of some of the most liberal contemporary constitutions.

  • World Factbook of Criminal Justice Systems
    WORLD FACTBOOK OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS Ghana by Obi N.I. Ebbe State University of New York at Brockport This country report is one of many prepared for the World Factbook of Criminal Justice Systems under Grant No. 90-BJ-CX-0002 from the Bureau of Justice Statistics to the State University of New York at Albany. The project director for the World Factbook of Criminal Justice was Graeme R. Newman, but responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in each report is that of the individual author. The contents of these reports do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the Bureau of Justice Statistics or the U.S. Department of Justice. GENERAL OVERVIEW I. Political System. Ghana has a multi-party parliamentary government with an elected President who is both Chief of the executive branch and the Head of State. Ghana has a centralized government with local divisions in eleven regions. There is a single legislature in the country, consisting of the President and the National Assembly. Regional leaders report to the central government in the capital of Accra. The criminal justice system is centralized in that the government has control over the courts, prisons, judges, and police. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Inspector General of Police, and the Director of Prisons are all appointed by the government and serve the entire country. Ghana is a member of the organization for African Unity (OAU) and a member of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). It joined the British commonwealth in 1960. 2.

  • The Role of the Supreme Court in the Development of Constitutional Law in Ghana
    THE ROLE OF THE SUPREME COURT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW IN GHANA by SETH YEBOA BIMPONG-BUTA i THE ROLE OF THE SUPREME COURT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW IN GHANA by SETH YEBOA BIMPONG-BUTA Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LAW – LLD at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA PROMOTER PROFESSOR B P WANDA 1 February 2005 ii ABSTRACT The Theme running through this Dissertation is intended to prove that the Supreme Court has a role to play in the promotion, enforcement and sustenance of a proper democratic system of government, good governance and fundamental human rights and freedoms in Ghana. The Study would therefore address the role of the Supreme Court in the development of Constitutional Law in Ghana, with particular emphasis on the court’s contribution to the underlying concepts of the Fourth Republican Constitution of 1992; the guiding principles of constitutional interpretation and the vexed issue of whether the court should adopt a mechanical and literal approach to the interpretation of the Constitution or adopt a liberal, beneficent and purposive approach. The Supreme Court has asserted in the locus classicus decision: Tuffuor v Attorney-General [1980] GLR 637 that the 1979 Constitution as the supreme law, must be construed as a living political document capable of growth. Is there any evidence now to support that claim? The study shall also investigate the question of the power of the Supreme Court to review legislative and executive action. We shall also examine the role of the Supreme Court in the interpretation and enforcement of the Constitution and Fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms in relation to the rights and obligations of the individual and the State with the view to achieving good governance.

Professor Abeeku Essuman-Johnson (Principal Supervisor) ………………………………… Date……………………… Dr. Kwame Asah-Asante (Co-Supervisor) i University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh ABSTRACT Railways are significant for the realization of innovation, creativity, and development. Railways contribute to social enthusiasm in addition to market competitiveness by conveying millions of consumers as well as personnel to urban places and villages around the world. All over the world countries are recognizing the important role that railways contribute to their economy. In the 1950s, Ghana’s railway transport was considered to be one of the best on the continent of Africa. The railway was a major transport connecting to the major cities of the country. Railway transport was very efficient, reliable, affordable and safe. The most important aspect of it was how it refurbished the local economy of traders and the conveyance of agricultural products from the production source to the market centers. This scholarly, therefore, examined the politics of railway transportation and development in Ghana.

  • Judicial Independence in an African State
    Judicial Independence in an African State Joseph Luna⇤ August 22, 2015 Abstract Judicial independence, that is, the ability for a court to decide cases free from po- litical influence, is an important tenet of democratic governance. This topic, however, is understudied in the African context. Drawing on 540 Supreme Court of Ghana opinions issued between 1960–2005, which span authoritarian and democratic regimes, I apply methods of automated–text analysis to characterize cases covering Court ju- risdiction, property, criminal and civil law. I find evidence that post-1992 Court cases on jurisdiction and civil law exhibit greater adherence to the Constitution of Ghana, plausibly indicating independence from external forces. I. Introduction In 1978, Isaac Kobina Abban nearly died in a car accident involving his vehicle and a military transport.1 Security forces had pursued Abban for several days, charging him with treason against the State of Ghana, crimes that carried the penalty of death. General Ignatius Akyeampong ruled this authoritarian state, and he dispatched his political enemies with abandon. Promising to return Ghana to democratic rule, Akyeampong improved economic growth in Ghana for three years, until the global oil crisis devastated Ghana’s economy. In ⇤[email protected].

  • The Civil Judge in Ghana: Remuneration System and Promotion Possibilities
    The Civil Judge In Ghana: Remuneration System And Promotion Possibilities By Justice S. K. Date-Bah* INTRODUCTION The title of this presentation is that proposed by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung. In the con- text of Ghana, it does not really work, since all judges and magistrates in Ghana are both civil and criminal. The courts established by the Courts Act, 1993 (Act 459) and various Courts Acts dating back to 1960 and the First Republic have usually been vested with both criminal and civil jurisdictions. Under the current 1992 Constitution of the Fourth Republic, only the Regional Tribunals provided for under article 142 of the Constitution have an ex- clusively criminal jurisdiction. These Tribunals in any case have become in practice obso- lete. An examination of the remuneration system and promotion possibilities of judges in Ghana therefore inevitably has to apply to all judges in the country. THE LAW This section provides an overview of the legal framework of the remuneration system for judges in Ghana. Article 71(1) of the 1992 Constitution provides that: “The salaries and allowances payable, and the facilities, and privileges available, to – a) …. b) The Chief Justice and the other Justices of the Superior Court of Judicature; c) …. Being expenditure charged on the Consolidated Fund, shall be determined by the President on the recommendations of a committee of not more than five persons ap- pointed by the President, acting in accordance with the advice of the Council of State.” The purpose of this provision is to ensure independence in the determination of the salary and privileges of superior court Justices in Ghana.

  • Ghana's National Reconciliation Commission and Its Relationship with the Courts,” Criminal Law Forum 15, 2004, at 125-134
    OCCASIONAL PAPER SERIES Ghana’s National Reconciliation Commission: A Comparative Assessment Written by By Nahla Valji for the International Center for Transitional Justice September 2006 About the ICTJ The International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) assists countries pursuing accountability for past mass atrocity or human rights abuse. The Center works in societies emerging from repressive rule or armed conflict, as well as in established democracies where historical injustices or systemic abuse remain unresolved. In order to promote justice, peace, and reconciliation, government officials and nongovernmental advocates are likely to consider a variety of transitional justice approaches including both judicial and nonjudicial responses to human rights crimes. The ICTJ assists in the development of integrated, comprehensive, and localized approaches to transitional justice comprising five key elements: prosecuting perpetrators, documenting and acknowledging violations through nonjudicial means such as truth commissions, reforming abusive institutions, providing reparations to victims, and facilitating reconciliation processes. The Center is committed to building local capacity and generally strengthening the emerging field of transitional justice, and works closely with organizations and experts around the world to do so. By working in the field through local languages, the ICTJ provides comparative information, legal and policy analysis, documentation, and strategic research to justice and truth-seeking institutions, nongovernmental organizations, governments and others. About CSVR The Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) is an independent non- governmental organization based in South Africa whose mission is to develop and implement innovative and integrated human security interventions based upon a commitment to social justice and fundamental rights for people who are vulnerable or excluded.
