Background
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948, International Covenant on Civil, Political and Cultural Rights, 1966, United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), 1990, African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, 1981, African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, 1989, Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol, 2006, the EU Guidelines for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of the Child (2017), are international legal provisions that seeks to protect the rights and sanctity of life. At the national level, Section 33 (1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended, stipulates that “Every person has a right to life, and no one shall be deprived intentionally of his life, save in execution of the sentence of a court in respect of a criminal offence of which he has been found guilty in Nigeria”.
The Child’s Rights Act, 2003, domesticated the Convention on the Rights of the Child and serves as a legal instrument for the protection of children’s rights in Nigeria and details associated with government responsibilities. Section II of the Child Rights Act of 2003 provided that “no child shall be subjected to physical, mental or emotional injury, abuse, neglect or maltreatment, including sexual abuse as well as torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, among others”.
The EU Strategic Framework on Human Rights and Democracy, adopted in June 2012, committed to integrating all children’s rights standards and principles into the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all its policies and programmes[1]. Article 2 (Non-discrimination) of the EU guidelines affirms that ‘All children shall be protected from all forms of discrimination based on their and their parents’ race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, disability, birth or other status’.
