Abstract
It looks at the role of courts enforcing an individual's right when trampled upon by
the government or other authority. If we accept the intrinsic worth of every human being,
then justice becomes the minimum debt we owe him, for if we deny him justice we have
declared him worthless. The article further argues that courts despite the critical condition in
which some of them operate have been able to do justice to the oppressed even under military
dictatorship. It will also look at the impetus given by the international community to the issue
of the enforcement of human rights. It concludes by making suggestions on the ways forward
for better methods to be used in enforcing these rights.
