Human Rights, Minority Rights, and Self-Determination
Exploring the complexities of accommodating population diversity in a post-apartheid South Africa, the book presents a theoretical framework for minority protection. It delves into the interplay of individual rights, minority rights, and self-determination, while critically analyzing the constitutional developments since 1996. Henrard highlights that although the Constitution recognizes the interrelation of these factors, the practical implementation of minority protection policies remains challenging, reflecting the ongoing legacy of Apartheid in the country.
