THE RIGHT TO COGNITIVE LIBERTY: PROTECTING MENTAL PRIVACY IN THE AGE OF NEUROTECHNOLOGY Cogito, 2025
Strengthening Human Rights Protection in Nigeria: Safeguards Under the Police Act 2020 Ugochukwu Godspower Ehirim, Morrison Ossai, Patrick Chukwunonso Aloamaka, Nwanneka Flora Ehirim Khazanah Hukum, 2024 The concept of Human Rights has become a critical factor in the definition of modern civilisation and constitutional democracies in the twenty-first century. The activities of the police remain central to the perception of human rights under municipal and international law according to the policies of the state-party. This article sets out to examine the provisions of the ‘new’ Police Force (Establishment) Act 2020 with a view to identifying the safeguards put in place by the law for strengthening the promotion and protection of human rights in Nigeria. It identifies factors which have contributed to inefficient policing and ever-increasing cases of human rights violations by the police and recommends sticking with the extant legal reforms for a better Nigeria Police Force. The Act introduces provisions such as mandatory accountability mechanism, abolition of use of force or torture to obtain statements from suspects as well as the requirement for the presence of a legal practitioners during a suspect’s interrogation, among others. The doctrinal research method is adopted in analysing statutory provisions and judicial precedents to assess the alignment of policing procedures with constitutional guarantees in line with global best practices. It is observed that despite the wide discretion afforded the Nigeria Police in the discharge of their duties which should boost the observance of human rights, the police abuse these discretions with the end result of serious violations of citizens’ rights which are guaranteed under the constitution. The article concludes that fostering a human-rights-based approach in the discharge of police duties alongside a stringent enforcement of the Police Act 2020 is imperative to sustaining lasting, far-reaching reforms.
Critical Examination of Emerging Issues in Refugee Protection: A Transnational Legal Perspective Peter Ikechukwu Gasiokwu, Jenigho Philip Esavwede, Patrick Chukwunonso Aloamaka, Linda Iheanacho Jurnal Ius Kajian Hukum Dan Keadilan, 2024 This research critically examines contemporary challenges in protecting the rights of refugees, focusing on climate-induced displacement and the impact of technology on migration patterns. It identifies significant gaps in current legal frameworks, particularly in their ability to address the transboundary nature of modern displacement. The research highlights the limitations of existing conventions and the need for a more adaptable, transnational legal approach. Key recommendations include expanding the definition of persecution, integrating technology safeguards, and fostering global responsibility-sharing mechanisms. These proposals aim to enhance refugee protection and ensure that legal frameworks remain responsive to the evolving challenges of the 21st century.
AI and Human Rights: Navigating Ethical and Legal Challenges in Developing Nations Patrick Chukwunonso Aloamaka, Moses Ogorugba Omozue Khazanah Hukum, 2024 The swift progress of artificial intelligence (AI) offers substantial opportunities and significant challenges, particularly concerning human rights in developing nations. This article explores the legal issues and moral conundrums brought about by AI technology's increasing influence on sectors such as healthcare, education, and governance. In developing nations, AI deployment often occurs without robust legal frameworks, potentially infringing on privacy, autonomy, and equity. This study employs a doctrinal research methodology to analyse the effects of AI on fundamental human rights, using case studies to illustrate both benefits and risks. It examines the role of international human rights standards and local legal systems in mitigating adverse impacts. The results highlight the complex interplay between technological innovation and human rights protection, proposing practical recommendations for policymakers, technologists, and legal practitioners. Ultimately, the goal is to foster an environment where AI can contribute to sustainable development while upholding the dignity and rights of all individuals in developing countries. This research contributes to the scientific understanding of AI's ethical and legal implications in the context of human rights.
The Ambiguity and Complexity of the Right to Self-Determination: A Legal and Political Perspective Ufuoma Garvin Oyibodoro, Peter I Gasiokwu, Patrick Chukwunonso Aloamaka International Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Scope, 2024 This article critically explores the ambiguity and complexity inherent in the right to self-determination from both legal and political perspectives. It discusses the concept's imprecise nature, especially in terms of its application beyond the colonial context. Adopting the doctrinal approach, this paper scrutinizes various international legal instruments, such as the United Nations Charter and Human Rights Covenants, and their interpretations that have contributed to the ongoing debates surrounding self-determination. It highlights the intersection of law and politics, exemplified in instances of secession, increased autonomy, and democratic participation. Additionally, the article addresses the controversial aspect of collective versus individual rights in the context of self-determination. Through an examination of influential cases and political events, such as the Western Sahara Case and Kosovo's declaration of independence, the article illustrates the practical challenges and consequences of applying the self-determination principle. Conclusively, the paper argues for a clearer and more precise understanding of self-determination to facilitate its effective implementation in international relations
PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THE NEW FRONTIER: NAVIGATING LEGAL CHALLENGES IN SPACE Cogito, 2024
LEGAL REGULATION OF INTERNAL PARTY DEMOCRACY IN NIGERIA Ufuoma Veronica Awhefeada, Patrick Chukwunonso Aloamaka Journal of Liberty and International Affairs, 2023 The lack of internal democracy in many political parties in Nigeria has created a general loss of confidence in voters toward the electoral process and democratic consolidation. This paper examines the extent to which political parties have adhered to or deviated from the relevant Constitutional and electoral law provisions in Nigeria toward achieving internal democracy and how this has affected voters’ attitudes and confidence in the electoral process and Nigerian democracy generally. To achieve this objective, the researchers utilize the doctrinal research method in examining the relevant provisions of the 1999 Constitution on internal party democracy, the relevant Electoral laws, and judicial decisions. During the work, it is observed that political party leadership in Nigeria rarely heed the relevant constitutional provisions and laws on internal party affairs. The paper finds that judicial decisions concerning this issue have not followed a similar pattern, which has greatly eroded voters’ confidence. It recommended a compelling need for the judiciary to follow legally valid precedents established in earlier judgments in deciding new cases arising from intra-party affairs, especially concerning the substitution of candidates.
A REALISTIC APPROACH TOWARDS ATTAINING SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT THROUGH IMPROVED PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN NIGERIA Ufuoma Veronica Awhefeada, Patrick Chukwunonso Aloamaka, Ejiro T. Kore-Okiti International Journal of Professional Business Review, 2023 Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the critical need for effective public participation in Nigeria as a means of enhancing sustainable development and cooperation among Indigenous peoples, as well as to advocate for the removal of legislative, judicial, and administrative barriers to participation in environmental law governance. Theoretical Framework: The existing literature has failed to address the gamut of legal, regulatory, and declarations (particularly Principle 10 of Rio 1992) and administrative frameworks for environmental protection and governance in Nigeria. These appeared to be a farce, hence the refusal to integrate the public and stakeholders’ opinions in environmental management that may conflict with official government policy. Design/Methodology/Approach: The doctrinal method of analysis was adopted. It was based on current materials and drew on contrasting views of learned authors and scholars, as well as various legislative sources. Data was obtained using texts, articles, journals, case law, electronic sources, legislation, and other policy documents. Findings: The results shows how the present legal and regulatory framework for the protection of the environment in Nigeria contradicts the concept of improved public participation. Research, Practical & Social implications: The study suggest the development of an effective legislative framework that incorporates the guiding principles of global public participation initiatives for environmental sustainability. Originality/Value: The value of the study reveals the global significance and the potential of public participation to improve the sustainability of the environment in Nigeria are essential to advancing the status of Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration as an emergent customary international law.
