Human Rights

Democracy, development and human rights are three integrated concepts and there
exists an intimate, interrelated and interdependent relationship between these three
concepts. Genuine human and humane development is impossible to achieve unless
development is brought under a human rights regime. Similarly genuine democracy
is impossible to achieve unless democracy, as practiced, is also brought under
human rights regime. Significant progress in addressing the structural causes of
human rights violations and significant progress in realization of all human rights of
all, necessitates the attainment of genuine democracy and genuine human and
humane development . In Malawi false and inappropriate paradigms have retarded the realization of human rights, development and democracy
the current regime is corrupt, money meant for poverty eradication is being diverted to personal accounts, the president has become an instant billionaire yet the international community still give him funding, Malawians are of the belief that the UK government as the major economic funder to Malawi is promoting corruption and supporting a dictatorial corrupt regime. we Malawians would like the international community to re-assess its position by putting checks on how the donations and funds are being used in Malawi. there is a higher risk the Millenium development goals will not be achieved by the 2015 deadline if these leaders are still in power.
