A rainstorm toppled trees onto people at the Kintampo Waterfall in Ghana, killing at least 19, most of them students who were visiting and swimming at the popular tourist site, officials said Monday.
Ghana should assign international law precedence over domestic law, with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people. Good international laws should be woven into Ghana’s legal system and the executive, legislative, judicial, procuratorial and other branches of government. They should serve as minimum standards for Ghanaian statutes, and legal mechanisms that take human security as their core, such as the UN Charter and international laws related to political rights, economic activity, food, medicine and living, and work safety should all be adopted.
