Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

AbstractAbstractThis article seeks to explore the recent changes that have occurred in Africa's human rights landscape. It argues that struggles for, recognition of, and the practice of human rights have grown and expanded in recent years in the midst of continuing challenges and widespread human rights violations by both state and civil society actors. The complex and contradictory tapestry and trajectory of human rights is analyzed in the shifting contexts of democratization, globalization, regionalization, and militarization, which collectively have structured African political economies since the 1990s. The question of human rights discourse in Africa is also examined by revisiting some of the debates about the generations and hierarchy of rights. Furthermore, the article looks at the role of the state and society in developing or undermining human rights norms.RésuméLe but de cet article est d'explorer les changements récents observés dans le domaine des droits de la personne en Afrique. Il déclare que la lutte pour, la reconnaissance et la mise en pratique des droits de la personne se sont développées et élargies ces dernières années malgré les difficultés permanentes et les violations généralisées des droits de la personne, commises non seulement par l'état mais aussi par les acteurs de la société civile. La tapisserie complexe et contradictoire et la trajectoire des droits de la personne sont analysées dans les contextes constamment changeants de la démocratisation, de la mondialisation, de la régionalisation et de la militarisation qui ont collectivement structuré les économies politiques en Afrique depuis les années 1990. La question du discours des droits de la personne en Afrique est elle aussi examinée, lorsque certains débats sur les générations et la hiérarchie des droits sont passés en revue. En outre, l'article se penche sur le rôle de l'état et de la société dans le développement et le sabotage des normes s'appliquant aux droits de la personne.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
