Poverty, exclusion and lack of participation are symptomatic of state and market-based approaches to human rights. Oche Onazi uses Nigeria as a case study to show how the idea of community is a better alternative, capable of inspiring the poor and the vulnerable to organise themselves democratically and claim ownership of the processes that determine their human rights.

• Shows how human rights can be better disposed to all the ramifications of development
• Considers both the strengths and limitations of human rights
• Promotes the role of community within human rights discourse
• Shows how the interaction between community and human rights can offer more responsive solutions to problems such as access to electricity
