| Description |
|
Ukweli combines the experiences of African human rights defenders to present a step-by-step guide for monitoring and investigating human rights abuses in Africa. This practical handbook has been written with and for African human rights defenders to strengthen and professionalise human rights work on the continent. Accurate and consistent research is an essential element to human rights campaigning, advocacy and lobbying. It is crucial to building and sustaining the legitimacy and reputation of human rights organisations and activists, locally, nationally and internationally. Ukweli is a Swahili word that can refer to both truth and fact. In customary law, Ukweli signifies the findings of impartial investigation that are irrefutable. |
