We identify complex relationships between citizens' perc...

This article examines how a philosophical perspective, rooted in African ethical and political thought, can enrich regional and global debates on regulating LAWS, which remain dominated by Eurocentric assumptions. The findings of this study, which draw from secondary data, suggest that existing international ...
