    Item
    Protection of human rights in east Africa by human rights commissions a case study of Tanzania
    (University of Dar es Salaam, 2015) Kasanga, Kalekwa
    The general objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the implementation of the recommendations of CHRAGG in protecting human rights in Tanzania. The study has made reference to similar institutions in other East Africa Community Partner States for the purpose of borrowing best practices. In this study documentary review and field research were employed as methods of collecting primary and secondary data. In documentary review secondary data were collected through reading various books, journals, reports, statues, cases, international instruments relevant to this study. Besides, several databases such as openDOAR and websites were consulted to access current online materials on the implementation of recommendations of NHRIs of other East Africa countries. In field research interviews and questionnaires were used as methods of collecting primary data from various correspondents. The study revealed that, recommendations of CHRAGG are substantially not implemented. It was further revealed that there are various legal and institutional challenges which hinder the implementation of its recommendations. Consequently, this study recommends that the Government should fund CHRAGG adequately to enable it to fulfill its human rights protection mandate effectively. In addition, the law establishing CHRAGG should be reviewed to facilitate the implementation of its recommendations. This study also recommends that CHRAGG should borrow a leaf from other National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) within East African countries to improve some of the aspects which affect the implementation of its recommendations.
