An important new report on the Ghanaian government’s performance in ensuring respect for the rule of law and access to justice for all, this assessment, based on a year’s field research by a Ghanaian civil society team, gives Ghana a broadly positive evaluation but highlights numerous areas for action. The report recognises the entrenchment of the rule of law that has taken place since Ghana’s 1992 constitution provided the basis for a restored civilian government. However, serious challenges remain. Among the key recommendations for action are a constitutional review to address a number of recommendations that have been made to reduce the role of the executive in judicial appointments, strengthen constitutional oversight institutions and remove the impunity from prosecution for human rights violations given to members of former military regimes.
