Constitutional Interpretation of Unenumerated Rights

The book "Constitutional Interpretation of Unenumerated Rights" by Dejo Olowu offers an in-depth analysis of the role of courts in interpreting constitutions, particularly concerning rights that are not explicitly guaranteed. It highlights how different legal systems address the challenge of interpreting unenumerated rights and examines the impact of these interpretations on people's lives, freedoms, and livelihoods. By evaluating case law, legal statements, and current scholarly discourses, the book discusses the potential for judicial innovation to promote social and economic rights as well as social justice in Africa. It questions established concepts of positivism and formalism and provides a critical perspective on the philosophical foundations of human rights.
