Human Dimension Program, Mediterranean Academy of Diplomatic Studies, University of Malta
I am currently working on a hyper-textual project concerning the African Charter of Human and Peoples Rights, and the Arab Charter of Human Rights. The main aim of this project is to analyses, compare & contrast, and explain the basic tenants of both Charters from an international law, and human rights perspective. The uniqueness of this project lies within the new IT software that is being used, which has been designed by our IT department at the Mediterranean Academy of Diplomatic Studies ( Diplo Project). this software enables the user to add links, make annotations, and create briefcases in an interactive forum.
Furthermore, the initial research on the African Charter has been completed, and we are ready to move into the next phase, which basically will rely on the contribution of international lawyers, students of human rights, and all those interested in the application of human rights from an African perspective.
Therefore, I am extending an open invitation to all interested in this project to participate in this new research methodology. On my part i will provide you with the software, and of course user names and passwords enabling you to access the information, and contribute online to enriching this innovative method of research.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested in this project or seek further information.
Furthermore, please do visit the website we have created.
