Constitutional and Legal System of Tanzania

A comprehensive sourcebook on Tanzania’s constitutional and legal system, designed to support the Civics and General Studies syllabus prepared by the Ministry of Education. Organised in seven parts and twenty-two chapters, the book covers sources of law, classification and division of law, the state and civil society, constitutional principles, Tanzanian constitutional history and constitution-making, human rights, the Union and Zanzibar constitutions, international organisations (UN, AU, EAC, World Bank, IMF, WTO and others), children’s rights, reproductive rights, the court system, environment and natural resources, and regulatory law. Short bibliographic notes at the end of each part support further study. Prepared primarily for secondary school students, the book also serves laypersons, civil society organisations, NGOs, advocacy workers, and provides a foundation for higher-education courses.
