摘要

本文探讨了非洲城市将人权法作为城市治理资源的情况,从而补充了迄今为止以全球北方城市经验为重点的 "人权城市 "文献的不足。文章探讨了人权城市倡议的动机和影响,然后仔细研究了非洲城市和非洲城市援引权利的报告实例,并指出了非洲大陆城市地方政府对人权法的利用似乎有限的原因。文章指出,非洲宪法体系中不完整且存在政治争议的权力下放安排,与国内社会经济权利可执行性方面的压力相结合,在非洲城市的地方政府与人权法之间构建了一种略显谨慎、充满争议但又充满希望的关系。

‘Human rights cities’ in Africa? Rights as resources for urban governance in the Global South

This article considers the use of human rights law as a resource for urban governance by African cities, thereby supplementing the growing literature on ‘human rights cities’ that has thus far focused on the experiences of cities in the Global North. It considers the motivations for and impact of human rights city initiatives, before taking a closer look at reported instances of rights invocation in and by African cities and pointing to factors that explain the seemingly limited traction of human rights law for urban local governments on the continent. The article shows that incomplete and politically contested devolution arrangements across African constitutional systems have combined with pressures pertaining to the domestic enforceability of socio-economic rights to structure a somewhat cautious and fraught, but nevertheless promising, relationship between local governments in African cities and human rights law.
