3?' 3. Financial Constraints Despite its laudable strides at democratization and economic recovery, Ghana is still trapped in the throes of dependence on external funding for crucial national progammes aimed at ensuring a durable democratic system of governance. Thus, the resources needed to fund the democratic agenda are limited and thereby pose a major threat to progress in this direction. The constitutional and statutory agencies charged with educating the public on human rights and civic responsibilities, such as the CHRAJ and the NCCE, are yet to develop a comprehensive program of education, backed by the requisite level of funding, to combat the problem of ignorance of human rights. 4. Criminal Libel Law There is a raging debate in Ghana on the desirability and constitutionality of criminal libel laws given the current democratic dispensation of which freedom of expression, including freedom of the media, is a key or foundational cornerstone. The right to information as basis for informed appreciation of issues and events is hampered by the existence on the statute books of legislation in respect of criminal libel. The private media find this piece of legislation as an affront to press freedom since it has been the subject of various libel suits pending before the courts. Summary Overall, there has been a commendable rise in Parliamentary Democracy and the. liberalism. On the whole human rights have improved greatly since the coming into force of the 1992 Constitution and the creation of the Commission. Arbitrary arrests and detention, etc. are gradually becoming a thing of the past. The aim of the Commission's awareness campaign is to cultivate a human rights culture among Ghanaians. Ghanaians have also witnessed generalized improvements in the scale of enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights. There is, in addition, an on-going cultural review in the country, the objective of which is to eradicate elements of our cultures and traditions which are degrading or dehumanising.
