The Committee on Justice and Human Rights (CJHR)

The Committee on Justice and Human Rights (CJHR) is a Committee of the Nigerian Branch of the International Law Association (ILA)http://www.ila-hq.org/. The CHJR aims at taking a pragmatic approach to human rights and justice as mutually inclusive concepts with a view to understanding how and why the concept of justice for human rights violations enhances or diminishing the safeguards of human rights instruments and provisions in Nigeria, in particular, and Africa, in general. It draws on the intellectual resources of its members and the ILA in carrying out its work, which is predominantly of a preventive nature. It also relies on the goodwill and donations of stakeholders in the fields of human rights and justice.
