Human Rights Standards

After about twenty years of military rule in Nigeria, Nigerians seemed to have lost the ability to insist on their fundamental human rights. In this vein, any attempt to talk about human rights has been very controversial since the return of democracy in 1991 because the police seem to have taken over the lawlessness of the military as no day passes without a daily occurrence of extra judicial killings, accidental discharge, and other notorious acts against innocent citizens all over the country. Therefore, with police brutality observable in every nook and cranny of the Nigerian society, this study evaluates human rights abuses in Nigeria's democracy with a view to restoring man's dignity that is at lowest ebb today than ever. Since government seems confused on what steps to take to put a stop to the series of abuses of human rights, hypotheses were formulated and literatures related to the variables reviewed. Survey research design was adopted and a total sample of 150 respondents was selected through purposive sampling technique and simple random sampling technique. The hypotheses were tested at 0.05 significant levels and the results of the findings show that all the null hypotheses were rejected and the alternate hypotheses accepted at same significant levels. Among the findings, the study shows that the rule of law in Nigeria has fallen short of the expectations of the citizens. Secondly, the police force has become a stumbling block to the effective administration of Justice and efficient maintenance of law and order as cruelty against citizens are widespread. Furthermore, the sheer disrespect of rules of engagements with imunity by the police not only questions the ability of the government to protect its citizens but also undermines its credibility. Based on the findings, the study concludes that the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) have not only abdicated their constitutional functions, responsibilities and obligations to Nigerians, but are deeply engaged in human rights abuses, bribery, and extortions of money not only from motorists plying our roads but also in our habitudes at the least opportunity. In this light, the study recommends that as a security organization in a democracy, the Nigeria police should understand that democracy demands that the human personality in its course of development should be allowed to proceed without artificial forces or barricade so long as it actively does not violate the safety and reasonable right of others. In addition, there should be other far-reaching reforms and reorientations necessary to bring Nigeria's policing operations into conformity with constitutional and international human rights standards.

Significance Large demonstrations on May 28 resulted in several deaths in Cali; President Ivan Duque deployed troops there the next day. Although that appears, temporarily, to have restored some order, talks between the government and protest leaders have stalled. Impacts The government still plans fiscal reform of some kind, but any proposals now risk inflaming unrest. Prolonged accusations of human rights abuses and impunity could damage Colombia’s international reputation. Fear of socialism and Venezuela’s struggles offer the government a powerful electoral weapon against the left.

Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are plants or plant parts that have perceived economic or consumption value sufficient to encourage their collection and removal from the forest. The main objective of this study is to identify the challenges and opportunity in equitable distribution of NTFPs among the usufructs. The study was conducted among the 446 usufructs of Dolpa, Salyan and Banke of Western Nepal. The study had adopted the simple random sampling technique to select the respondent from the study areas. Mixed method approach was applied for data collection. The findings show that there were some challenges due to inadequate knowledge and incomplete information on products, markets and prices on the part of collectors/producers. 54.9 percent of them said lack of the market system of providing price of NTFPs was the key challenges/barriers for the equitable distribution of usufructs followed by dominance of middleman/traders (52.2%), lack of accessibility of big market (45.3%), lack of awareness of price of NTFPs (12.4%) and lack of accessibility to MPIS (6.2%). Though, there were more opportunities to promote the NTFP. Demand of NTFPs mainly comes for three major use categories: 1. Pharmaceutical Industry & Research, 2. Health Care, and 3. Consumer Market. The Government of Nepal should provide the technical skills through training and orientation to usufructs about the proper cultivation and harvesting of NTFP and knowledge on use of MPIS which can directly contribute in the sustainable management of NTFP.
