| dc.description.abstract | The beginning of the 21st Century is marked by significant efforts to reform the private sector in Tanzania. Some of these efforts include the improvement of the investment climate and as such, there is increased emphasis on foreign private investment and privatization of local industries; reform of laws and policies governing investment and the investment climate; renewed emphasis on good governance including an attempt to reduce corruption which is believed to have slowed down the pace of development in Tanzania. Unfortunately, the need of protecting human rights and ensuring that this need is mainstreamed in these reform processes has been extremely limited. The gap that exists in terms of protection of human rights has to a great extent been caused by the fact that the biggest influence towards the shift in economic development has been induced external factors including the growth and expansion of capitalism. Even at the international level, within the framework of international law and relations, human rights concerns have been compromised in the name of investment and economic growth. Sadly, the disregard echoes on, and consequently, no serious steps have been taken by national states (especially in developing countries} to ensure that human rights are safeguarded from acts of investors. For developing countries, this change has instigated the need to have in place an investment legislation that will not only encompass the changed economic relations at the international level, but that will also ensure that rights of citizens, the majority of whom are poor, are respected and upheld. This research focuses on the role of foreign investors with regard to the state of human rights within the private sector in Tanzania. It includes an analysis of the actual situation and practices of foreign investments in relation to rights of citizens and the adherence to obligations related to sustainable environmental and natural resource management. | en_US |
