South Africa: Justice Sector and the Rule of Law

This report, South Africa: Justice Sector and the Rule of Law, comes at an important time for South Africa and the African continent. It is one of a set of reports initiated by AfriMAP that intend to go beyond describing the institutional arrangements in a constitutional democracy and reflect on the health and quality of democracy and governance in South Africa. In particular, these reports will measure South Africa’s compliance with the commitments undertaken since 2000 by the African Union and NEPAD’s African Peer Review Mechanism.
