Product Description

Tebogo Titose Mapodisi studied at the University of Botswana where she obtained Bachelor of Laws (LLB) in 2006. She obtained Masters in Law specialising in Administrative and Constitutional Law at the University of Cape Town in 2014. She is also a Part Time Lecturer with the University of Botswana (Centre of Continuing Education) where she teaches Business Law. Mapodisi has also published an article in the University of Botswana Law Journal entitled “Ouster clauses, judicial review and the Botswana ombudsman: A need for reform?”. This book acknowledges that advocacy for the establishment of a NHRI in Botswana has sufficiently been made. The government of Botswana has been fully convinced that indeed there is a need to establish a NHRI and has taken steps towards establishing one. The government has advertised the post of Deputy Permanent Secretary whose mandate is to (among other things) facilitate the creation of a NHRI. In addition, a draft Cabinet Memorandum has been submitted for consideration by Cabinet on the subject of establishing a NHRI. Furthermore, delegations of the Botswana government and the UN in Botswana have undertaken three (3) NHRI benchmarking missions in Ghana, Namibia and Tanzania. These developments inform the focus of this book. The developments present an opportunity to evaluate the process of establishing a NHRI which is compliant to the guidelines for establishing effective NHRIs - the Paris Principles. The use of the SAHRC and the ZHRC as case studies will provide practical guidance to Botswana on how to establish a NHRI which is compliant to the Paris Principles.
