520			_aThis book originates from a workshop organized in Nairobi in October 2008, under the theme of 'Human rights, African values and traditions'. The book addresses the issue of human rights and its connection with African values and traditions from an interdisciplinary perspective. It interrogates various societal aspects and examines them in the light of the international human rights framework and instruments. At the core of the book are issues of human rights in regard to children, women and youth. The authors examine traditional practices that affect the development and well being of the communities that undertake them. They have also looked at some of the beliefs, attitudes and assumptions that are held by communities and their potential dangers in terms of curtailing the enjoyment of fundamental rights and freedoms espoused in international and regional human rights instruments.
