Abstract

Human trafficking is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st Century. The Sub Saharan Africa seems to be the center point of this global epidemic. Nigeria is an origin, transit and destination point for global trafficking in persons. This paper uses a doctrinal research approach to examine the legal regime for combatting trafficking in persons in Nigeria and argues that Nigeria must be more proactive in its fight against human trafficking. This paper finds that poverty, weak legal system, armed conflicts, climate change, family imbalance and greed among other factors, contribute to trafficking in persons. This paper finds that there exist a plethora of legislations on human trafficking in Nigeria, such as the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended in 2018; Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Law Enforcement and Administration Act, 2015; the Immigration Act 2015; the Criminal and Penal Code Acts; the Child’s Right Act and the African Charter. This paper finds that these extant legal frameworks in Nigeria are frost with several lacunas that will hamper and ultimately defeat the fight against human trafficking. The paper therefore makes suggestions on how to remedy the observed lacuna. The paper concludes by stating that the fight against human trafficking must be a collective effort by all. Human rights are not safe anywhere until all persons have enough of the same everywhere.

Abstract

There is a maxim that no man is an island. The above proclamation stands valid for country states additionally, as no country has ever effectively created with shut fringes. This demonstrates the certainty of exchange relations among countries. The Europe and the Africa, Caribbean and the Pacific (ACP) have been trading ever before the advent of slave trade up to date; and are strong trade allies up to date. It is a relationship that initially begun on the premise of business associations between early European wayfarers and indigenous anglers most particularly in the seaside regions of the Delta. This article examines these trade relations from pre-colonial period up to the extant Economic Partnership Agreement of 2007 that is being negotiated.  This article finds that it was the pre-colonial trade relations that enjoyed parity between the two parties, however, the affairs changed during the slave trade era when the trade changed from the products to the producers. This article further finds that ACP did not profit much from the subsequent agreements; this finding is hinged on the fact that after the seven centuries of the EU-ACP trade association, 39 out of the 70 ACP states remain among the Less Developed Countries. This article also finds that this poor performance can be attributed to both internal and external factors. This article advocates for a paradigm shift from the status quo to a regime where reciprocity should be based on achievement of human centered socio-economic indicators in ACP States. It further recommends the adoption of AU proposal for Common and Enhanced Trade Preference System (CETPS).
