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.
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

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.
