ECOWAS Judgment - a key milestone for all (3)
The Court recognized the fact that the Nigerian government's
failure to enact effective laws and establish effective institutions to
regulate the activities of the companies coupled with its failure to
bring perpetrators of pollution to book, amount to a breach of
Nigeria's international human rights obligations and commitments.
We are rejoicing because for it is the first time that a sanction will
be imposed for non-compliance with the judgment of the Court
under Article 24 of the Supplementary Protocol of the ECOWAS
Court of Justice, and Article 77 of the ECOWAS Treaty.
Finally, since a precedent has been set from the ECOWAS court
ruling, we were hopeful that the ruling in Nigerian farmers' case
against Shell will mark the 2nd joyous moment in the History of the
Niger Delta region and the World to hold oil multinationals
accountable and for a global environmental responsibility.View entire presentation
