- The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is the first legally binding international instrument to address specifically children’s rights comprehensively. It is the most widely ratified human rights treaty in the world. The African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) was adopted in 1990. It is designed to retain the spirit as well as substance of the letter of the CRC while at the same time having special provisions guided by the situations in Africa. There are several similarities in the provisions of the two child's rights instruments. The paper examines the question whether there is need for a regional treaty on the rights of the child apart from the CRC which is global. The objective of the paper is to show whether both treaties have complemented and reinforced each other 2 results 2

- "Nigeria is a country endowed with cities and communities of great resources. Making these cities and communities sustainable in all ramifications, the environmental impact assessment (EIA) act 2004 is one of the legal instruments that has to be adhered to strictly. Initial moves of stakeholders on world concerns on the utilising environmental resources justly called for international conferences from World Summits from Stockholm to Nairobi to Rio and to Johannesburg. These international conferences have set paces for most nations of the world on the need to adopt and implement the concepts and policies of sustainable development. Nigeria was among States in the United Nations World submit where seventeen (17) sustainable development Goals were adopted in September, 2015 in New York, United States of America (USA). These goals are targeted towards eradicating unpleasant social, economic and environmental problems in all nations of the world by year 2030. Goal eleven (11) of the Sustainable Development Goals precisely provides for sustainable cities and communities. This article considers the essence of the Nigerian Environmental Impact Assessment Act to achieving goal eleven of among the seventeen SDGs. The articles considers the conceptual frameworks of both Environmental Impact Assessment and Sustainable development as well as the international frameworks on these concepts. This article further considers the development of EIA and SDGs in Nigeria together with peculiar nature of the country and its cities and community. The provisions of the EIA and other related legal frameworks are examined to harness their essence with achieving the sustainable cities and communities. Impediments to enforcing the provisions of the EIA towards achieving sustainable cities and communities are considered. The article also juxtapose EIA in three jurisdictions with Nigeria’s efforts to implement the EIA provisions with aims of achieving sustainable cities and communities. This articles concludes with observations and recommendations that will enhance enforcement of EIA towards achieving sustainable cities and communities in Nigeria" 1 results 1
- A floating charge is a present security on all or part of the assets of a company which hovers over them but gives the debtor the right to continue dealing with the assets until crystallisation. The process of the conversion from floating charge to its becoming fixed is known as crystallisation. This paper critically examines the current legal regime for crystallisation of the floating charge in Nigerian law. There is no framework on how crystallisation may be activated by the events stated in the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2004. The events listed in the law are grossly inadequate and does not take into consideration other events recognised under the common law and commercial practice. Preferential claims are not adequately protected under the current regime. The paper advocates for an urgent legislative intervention to properly define the floating charge and the regulation of crystallisation events to bring it to current international standards. 1 results 1

- Available literature on Ilaje society has been concerned with the legal framework of colonial rule, indigenous political structure, economic development and missionary activities. There has not been any extensive study on the Ugbo-Mahin conflict and its implications for social development. This study, therefore, examined the Ugbo-Mahin conflict in Ilaje area of Ondo state with specific focus on its implications for social relations, oil exploration and compensation, infrastructural development, kingship and religious institutions. The study also investigated and interrogated the pre-conflict pattern of interactions between the Ugbo and the Mahin and how they have been affected. The principal instrument of data collection for the study was the unstructured interview. In-depth interview were held with fifty community and opinion leaders from each of the two communities. Four Focus Group Discussions were held with persons knowledgeable about the conflict. Archival materials, petition and letters of protest and photographs were used. Data were also collected from reports of government commissions of inquiry, books, journals, newspapers and internet materials. The data were then subjected to content analysis. The Ugbo and Mahin had friendly relationship before the advent of colonial rule. The Ugbo-Mahin conflict dated back to the colonial period and is carried into contemporary times. The conflict has led to destruction of lives and property in the area. Different ethnic unions of parallel functions have emerged in the two communities. These unions have used their rivalry to stall industrial development by demanding separately for improved social life. The Ugbo-Mahin incessant conflicts have, thus, undermined development in the two communities such that there are no industrial estates, manufacturing companies and large business investment. The conflict has further put stress on marital harmony between the two groups. However, the conflict has not escalated into unmanageable situation because of the activities of the Ilaje Youth Forum, the National Association of Ilaje Students and Egbe OmoIlaje who are responsible for peace building and reconciliation of all aggrieved parties in both communities. In spite of the efforts of these associations, the marginalization of the Mahin in the compensation on oil spillage and other ecological problems occasioned by the oil exploration in Ugboland and the discrimination against them in appointment of representatives to oil commissions are some of the factors inhibiting sustainable peace and development. The Ugbo-Mahin conflict over the years had done incalculable damage and has not allowed harmonious relationship between two ethnic groups. There is a need for the promotion of non-violent means in managing the conflict and facilitation of peace education in the society. Both of which aim at psycho-social healing and psychological transformation towards peaceful co-existence in the two communities. There is need for the encouragement of inter-marriages and cultural re-integration of the two groups. 1 results 1
