- Description: This article deals with normative issues that arose in the post-conflict peace-building processes in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It undertakes an historical review of the major episodes in the DRC peace process and highlights how these episodes yielded to the establishment of the interim government in 2003 and the enactment of the current constitution. It mainly highlights the proprietary consequences of the Lusaka peace Accord, the transformative aspects of the 2005 Constitution and the role that international organs, especially the ICC, have played in consolidating peace in the DRC.

- Description: The article analyses the broad history underpinning the notion of sustainable development and its context within the events industry in South Africa. It explores the willingness of festival-goers to pay for a hypothetical recycling programme to reduce the negative externalities of the Festival. Results show that festival-goers were, on average, willing to pay an additional R2.30 per "green" ticket to fund the proposed programme. A statistical regression was used to explore the determinants of willing-to-pay. If applied to all tickets, the total willing-to-pay amount far exceeded the actual cost of the recycling programme.

- Description: In 1997 a South African man married a woman who, at the time of the conclusion of their marriage, was a national of a foreign country. The couple decided to set up home and start a family in South Africa. They were advised that the granting of a permanent residence permit to the wife would only be considered upon payment of a hefty application fee, and that she had to apply for the permit from outside South Africa. The couple was of the view that the high cost of the application coupled with their temporary separation at the time of the lodging of the application amounted to an unjustifiable limitation of their right to family life. One of the obstacles faced by the couple was the silence of the South Africa Constitution on the right to family life.
