Sommario/riassunto

The Centre for Human Rights, Faculty of Law, University of Pretoria, in June 2011 organised an international conference on Multi- and Inter-disciplinary Human Rights in Africa to provide an opportunity for academics, especially from African countries, to ponder and reflect on the benefits that other disciplines bring to the theory and practice of human rights. This collection brings together peer-reviewed and reworked papers presented at the conference. Beyond the law: Multi-disciplinary perspectives on human rights is directed at an audience of scholars and practitioners who are engaged in the academic study and practical implementation of human rights. It aims to make a contribution, particularly from an African perspective, to the growing scholarly literature on the topic.
