Analyzing the Namibia Employers Federation judgment, Vimbai Mutandwa argues that the Namibian High Court’s insistence on strictly and narrowly interpreting the executive’s powers to derogate from rights during states of emergency are a vindication of the rule of law and the principle of legality. However, she notes that the judgment does not engage with international law standards adequately and fails to “engage with the substance of the issue at hand: the rights of workers and the impact of COVID-19...
