    (UB, FSPJ, 2022-09) Masabarakiza, Justin; Sous la direction de : Prof. Dr. Jean Marie Barambona
    This memoire presents the concepts of Human Rights and perpetual positive peace in Burundi. Human Rights violations in Burundi particularly include 1972, 1988, 1993 and 2015 where assassinations, oppression, cruelty and lack of freedom were experienced. It is suspected that the population minds are characterized by fear of violation. This situation fetters implementation of Human Rights Law efforts and retains the need of lasting positive peace. Through library research, interviews, questionnaire techniques and internet sources research methodology, the researcher has analyzed the Human Rights paradigm in Burundi. These are historical background and hypothetical perspectives in the country; description on the meaning and history of the main themes of the work; and Burundi reality through the findings. The roots of Burundian violation throughout history are unequal resource distribution, power sharing and legitimacy of power. As a means of solving the three roots of problems, citizens tend to base on their ethnic groups and political manipulations to access wealth and power which results into intensive violation of Human Rights. About 95.7% of the respondents argue that Burundians live with fear while 4.3% argue that Burundians live without fear of Human Rights infringement. The subsequent empirical statistics unfolds that, there is still a ray of hope to win against the existing fear and mistrust in Burundi to achieve the perpetual positive peace ideal. The researcher recommends that, for positive peace achievements in the Republic of Burundi, Burundians should keep in minds that all essences for implementation of Human Rights Law to attain perpetual positive peace in the State are found within themselves first.
