The topic of the thesis is "The horizontal application of the environmental right to juristic persons in South Africa’s maritime domain".

 

The relevance of the thesis:

Although section 8(2) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa makes it clear that the Bill of Rights applies horizontally (i.e. between non-state actors), there remains considerable debate on what this precisely means. I will build on the debate on the horizontal application of the Bill of Rights on land, to explore how the Bill of Rights applies in South Africa’s maritime domain specifically with regard to a safe and protected environment as enshrined in section 24 of the Constitution.
