  • Statement by the Kenyan Section of The
    STATEMENT BY THE KENYAN SECTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION OF JURISTS (ICJ KENYA) AT THE 68TH ORDINARY SESSION OF THE AFRICAN COMMISSION OF HUMAN AND PEOPLES RIGHTS (ACHPR) To the Chairperson of the African Commission of Human and People's Rights (ACHPR), Hon. Solomon Ayele Dersso; Honourable Chairperson, honourable commissioners, state delegates, representatives of National Human Rights Institutions, members of civil society organisations and distinguished participants. About ICJ Kenya ICJ Kenya is a non-governmental, non-profit and member-based organisation that works towards promoting human rights, democratic governance, justice, and the rule of law in Africa. ICJ Kenya has observer status with the African Commission on Human and Peoples' rights under number 118. Introduction This statement is submitted for the period of 2020/2021. It relates to the status of human rights in Kenya, focusing on Equality and inclusion, Security sector, Economic governance, Constitutional implementation and reforms, Judicial strengthening, Criminal justice and Public Sector Accountability. ICJ Kenya is alarmed by the high incidents of human rights violations emanating from the approach to the global Covid-19 pandemic. In Kenya, the public health crisis spiralled into an economic, political, social and legal crisis. Since 2020, the Government of Kenya and State agencies have issued seven (7) executive orders, published seven (7) gazette notices, and issued 14 guidelines, directives, and regulations in response to the Covid 19 pandemic1. The implementation of some of the orders and regulations has gone unchecked and have resulted in human rights violations. Alarmed by the disproportionate impact of these restrictions on human rights, resulting in adverse consequences on people’s livelihoods and well-being, ICJ Kenya hereby submits the statement below as a follow up to the resolutions set out in the 67th Ordinary Session of the African Commission session.

  • Master of the Science of Law
    TO CONCUR, OR NOT TO CONCUR: THAT IS THE QUESTION: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL QUESTIONS REGARDING THE JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGES APPOINTED TEMPORARILY TO THE ISRAELI SUPREME COURT A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE STANFORD PROGRAM IN INTERNATIONAL LEGAL STUDIES AT THE STANFORD LAW SCHOOL, STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF THE SCIENCE OF LAW By Binyamin Blum © May 2006 Please do not cite without permission of author ABSTRACT In many democratic societies, judicial tenure is perceived to be an important safeguard for the judiciary’s independence. In Israel, although judicial tenure is secured under Basic Law: The Judiciary, the promotion of judges from Israel’s District Courts to the Supreme Court is usually preceded by a temporary appointment. In practice, this temporary appointment serves as a “probationary period” after which the judges are considered for the permanent position of Associate Justice. One of the important implications of this promotion system is that while serving on Israel’s highest court, temporarily appointed judges continue to depend on external forces to retain their offices. Therefore, I argue that from a theoretical standpoint, temporary appointments pose a substantial threat to the judicial independence of individual judges. Because of the significant role played by Supreme Court Justices in the appointment process, I identify the threat to judicial independence as primarily originating within the judiciary, rather than from other branches of government. The major objective of this study is to examine the degree to which the theoretical threat to internal judicial independence can be seen to materialize in the Israeli Supreme Court example.

The impact is driving institutions to seek effective solutions, and technology has been identified as a ‘way forward’ in terms of offering education to the growing population of young people who want it. Technology- mediated education must therefore help to improve Latin American citizens’ quality of life. In Mexico, and since 2010, the National System of Distance Education (SINED) – an initiative led by universities interested in strengthening education mediated by information and communication technologies (ICTs) – has been exploring ways to incorporate these tools into the evolution of Mexi- can and, by extension, Latin American universities. This monographic Dossier, produced in conjunction with RUSC. Universities and Knowledge So- ciety Journal, is part of the SINED’s effort to progress towards generating information, documentation and materials to support the academic community involved in ICTs and innovation from a number of angles, including use, learning and research.
