摘要
在本文中,我展示了新教和罗马天主教会在2004年至2012年马拉维政府侵犯人权方面发挥的关键作用。我认为新教和天主教领袖对Bingu wa Mutharika政府侵犯人权的反应受到以下几个因素的影响:首先,教会领袖认为wa Mutharika对他们的批评声音感到不安。其次是教会领袖对政府弱势地位的看法。最后,我认为,尽管教会的预言并不总是一致或一致的,但它们的党派利益有时会削弱它们的预言,而这些党派利益有时会被政府利用。
Human rights - the tension and conflict between church and state in Malawi : 2004-2012
In this paper, I show the critical role played by the
Protestant and the Roman Catholic Churches with regard to the government’s abuse of
human rights in Malawi in the years 2004 to 2012. I argue that the Protestant and
Catholic leaders’ response to Bingu wa Mutharika’s government’s violation of human
rights was influenced by a number of factors: first, the Church leaders’ perceptions
of Wa Mutharika’s uneasiness about their critical voice. Second were the Church
leaders’ perceptions of the weak position of the government. Finally, I argue that
though not always uniform or consistent, the churches’ prophetic voice was
occasionally undermined by their partisan interests, which sometimes were exploited
by the government.
