This is a book about human rights law and practice in Nigeria. Human rights are natural rights, rights conferred on men and women and even children because they are human beings created by God in His own image. The rights are inherent entitlements that cannot be separated from human beings. The rights are fundamental, universal, inviolable, indivisible, inalienable and interdependent. Every human being is entitled to them regardless of age, sex, religion, race, colour or language. Even when the country’s Constitution or laws do not recognize the rights, the people are protected by them because they supercede any national or domestic law
