Summary: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. Key Features. Shows how human rights can be better disposed to all the ramifications of development Considers both the strengths and limitations of human rights Promotes the role of community within human rights discourse Shows how the interaction between community and human rights can offer more responsive solutions to problems such as access to electricity
