Poverty, exclusion and lack of participation are symptomatic of state and market-based approaches to human rights. Oche Onazi uses Nigeria as a case study to show how the idea of community is a better alternative, capable of inspiring the poor and the vulnerable to organise themselves democratically and claim ownership of the processes that determine their human rights.
Dr. Oche Onazi is Lecturer in Law at the University of Dundee. He has published articles in Law, Global Development and Social Justice, Global Jurist and International Journal of Law in Context.
