“Human rights are under assault.
Tens of millions of people are mired in poverty, hunger, poor health and education systems that have not yet fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic……….Global inequalities are running rampant ; Conflicts are intensifying whilst International law is wilfully ignored.
Authoritarianism is on the march, civic space is shrinking.”
- U N Secretary General ANTONIO GUITERES speaks on WORLD HUMAN RIGHTS DAY 2024
This Endorses the relevance of F H R as Sacrosanct. This year’s theme reminds us that (“human rights are about building the future —right now”)
All human rights – Economic, Social, Civic, Cultural or Political are indivisible Underscoring the Essence of Dignity, Freedom, and Justice for All Every human being has dignity and deserves certain rights
International Human Rights Day is dedicated to promoting and safeguarding the fundamental rights and freedoms of Every Human
Human rights play a critical role as a preventive, protective and transformative force in addressing people’s greatest concerns.
Just as the Nigerian Human Rights Commission is committed to Enforcing F H R in the Nation, the Directorate for Citizens Rights is the Pioneer Directorate designed to address this across the state
For more than A Decade The Directorate through Mediation, has intervened in
- Family Matters ( Siblings Disputes on Inheritance….)
- Landlord / Tenancy Matters
- Employer/ Employee Issues
- One Stop Child Justice Center And Others ….
As the WORLD Celebrates HUMAN RIGHTS DAY 2024, Directorate for Citizens Rights is Re-iterating the need to be more informed about their Rights as Aggressive Campaigns are on-going to Sensitize the General Public and Students in Primary and Secondary Schools in Lagos State on how to Enforce Them
Happy Celebration……
