LW431 – Human Rights Week 9 – Regional Human Rights Systems – A Pacific Mechanism of Human Rights? Answer the following questions: 1-Identify and explain the advantages of a regional human rights system. The regional human rights system The South Pacific countries should develop their own jurisprudence. This is because when taking into account decision of other countries the circumstances, can be different which does not suit the present case or the South Pacific. Also for Pacific countries national or regional jurisprudence will be contextually easier to apply because the circumstance will be similar. The Pacific Countries have a shared history and cultures so it will assist on having a regional approach towards protecting and promoting human rights. The international body is present with its own jurisprudence which can serve as a guiding principal for the Pacific to derive to its own. The law must resonate with the people it is being applied to, the circumstances in which matter occurred in England will be different from Tuvalu. Thus, the ratio in dealing with the matter must be appropriate. Additionally, in the Pacific not every human right is being violated, there are specific rights which are being infringed upon which the regional human rights body if created, can look into. The regional body can develop programs and implement this in the Pacific. Therefore, in my opinion regional/national jurisprudence is a must which will enhance the Pacific’s commitment towards achieving better human rights standard. 2-Identify and explain why the European system of human rights is said to be the most successful and effective system? Identify and explain why the African system of human rights is said to be the least successful and effective system? 3-Do we need a regional mechanism of human rights in the Pacific?
