RESEARCH BODY

ABSTRACT
This Dissertation aimed at examining the legal framework for the promotion and protection of Human Rights in Nigeria in relation to the existing constitutive international instruments on human rights. In this regard, the sources of information relied upon here are relevant text materials, articles in journal publication, judicial authorities, conference papers, newspapers, magazines and internet materials. However, the justification for this research is that “human rights” in Nigeria has become not only a topical issue but the language of both the oppressors and the oppressed, yet little is known of its meaning and ramification. For example the right to fair hearing is not exclusive to either the accused or the prosecution. Does fair hearing means opportunity to be heard or the inalienable right to be heard? Further the denial of economic rights of human being which is presently being experienced in Nigeria is tantamount to denial of right to life because it is this means of livelihood that keeps a man alive. This unfortunate event is quite worrisome and constituted the statement of problem of this research because consequently there is moral decadence, corruption, lack of patriotisms and insecurity in Nigeria. On this note, the finding of this research (among others) was that there existed a weak institutional infrastructure for the promotion and protection of human rights in Nigeria. For example there is no specific law regulating the activities of non-government human rights organizations. Although it must be mentioned here that a bill to that effect is pending before the National Assembly. Finally, it was recommended that various governmental bodies in Nigeria must be strengthened and made effective by specific regulatory Act especially the National Human Rights Commission.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
This work examines the role of Non-Governmental Organisation in the promotion and
protection of Human Rights in Nigeria. The importance attached to the concept of human rights
has assumed phenomenal dimension since the Second World War when it became clear that
universal respect for human rights isCondicio sine qua non for world peace and process. At the
local level, the malevolent dictatorship of military juntas sensitized Nigerians to their human
rights and the need to defend them. This era of military dictatorship also witnessed an upsurge in
the emergence of non-governmental human rights organization across the country particularly in
the South.
The expression “human rights” in its widest connotation embraces those civil, political,
economic, social, cultural, group, solidarity, and developmental rights which are considered
indispensable to a meaningful human existence. “Right”, here is used in composite sense and not
in the strict legal sense. Legal human rights are those human rights that are guaranteed by
positive law (lexlata). Thus, Osita Eze defines human rights as representing demands or claims
which individuals or groups make on society some of which are protected by law and have
become part of ex lata while others remain aspirations to be attained in future.1
Human rights are inherent rights to be enjoyed by all human beings of the global village
and not gifts to be withdrawn, withheld or granted at some one‟s whim or will. In this sense, they
