Declaring attacks by herdsmen as terrorist acts would help<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">make up the authorities to seriously address the threats posed by herdsmen<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and combat the crimes against humanity being committed against Nigerians.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">In the letter dated 16 March 2018 and signed by SERAP deputy director<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Timothy Adewale the organization expressed, serious concern that the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">government of President Muhammadu Buhari is failing to uphold its<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">responsibility to protect the citizens from increasing atrocities by the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">herdsmen, which if not urgently addressed would pose serious threat to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">regional peace and security, and by extension, international peace and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">security. The Security Council must act now to protect Nigerians,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">including women and children, if the Council is not to be accused of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">failing the people of Nigeria.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The organization said: The attacks by herdsmen have uprooted families,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">destroyed communities socio-economic activities, and taken away their<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">livelihoods and common heritage. These attacks undermine the very purposes<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and principles of the UN Charter. If not urgently combatted, such attacks<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">may rise to the level of threat to international peace and security. SERAP<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">notes that the first purpose listed for the UN is to maintain<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">peace.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The letter read in part: SERAP urges the Security Council and its members<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">to publicly condemn these terrorist attacks, express concern about the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">protection of Nigerians and communities affected by the violations of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">international humanitarian and human rights law and press the authorities<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">to put in place special mechanisms for bringing those suspected to be<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">responsible to justice, and victims to receive redress, including adequate<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">compensation and guarantee of non-repetition.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The Security Council and its members should reaffirm that terrorism of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">all forms and manifestations, such as the growing attacks by herdsmen in<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Nigeria, are criminal and unjustifiable regardless of their motivations.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">They should also recognize that security, development and human rights are<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">interlinked and mutually reinforcing and are vital to an effective and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">comprehensive approach to countering all forms of terrorism in Nigeria.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The Security Council and its members should adopt a resolution to:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Characterise killings by herdsmen as terrorist acts and mobilize<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">international support for Nigeria to combat these attacks, including for<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the authorities to adopt and implement measures to tackle the causes and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">consequences of these attacks and end all forms of terrorism in the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">country.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The resolution should also call on the UN Secretary-General to carry out<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">a joint visit to Nigeria with the High Commissioner for Human Rights,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Chairperson of the African Union Commission, and the African Union Peace<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and Security Council to investigate allegations of killings by herdsmen<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and to better understand the root causes of these killings and put<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">pressure on the Nigerian authorities to end them.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The resolution should express concern that unabated killings by herdsmen<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">may ultimately contribute to undermining the ability of the Nigerian<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">authorities to provide security, good governance, social and economic<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">development in the country. It should affirm the international communitys<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">solidarity and full support for the victims of killings by herdsmen and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the communities affected, including those displaced because of the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">attacks.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The Security Council and its members should support collaboration with<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the African Union Peace and Security Council to combat the threats posed<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">by herdsmen and enable both institutions to support stability and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">development in Nigeria. We believe that a UN Security Council resolution<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">would help to put pressure on the Nigerian authorities to take urgent and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">concrete measures to end the killings and secure the safety of all<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Nigerians. We urge you to act urgently as recommended, and we would be<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">pleased to discuss these issues further.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">SERAP notes that hundreds of people including women and children, have<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">been killed apparently by herdsmen, and several more have been displaced<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and others forced to flee their homes and communities. The past weeks<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">alone have seen some of the worst attacks against innocent citizens,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">including unlawful killings, destruction and pillage of property by<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">herdsmen across the country. The attacks have been fuelled by impunity<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">that has plagued the authorities response to the problem.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">According reports, at least seven people have been killed and property<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">worth millions of naira destroyed following series of attacks on Takum and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Ussa local government areas of Taraba State by herdsmen. In Plateau State<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">of Nigeria, a man identified as Joseph Alli, 23, was killed and beheaded<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">by herdsmen during a fresh attack on Rotsu village, Miango District in<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Bassa Local Government Area of the State.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">His killers reportedly ate the food that he was about to eat, burnt the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">kitchen and food barn in the house and left. Three houses around the area<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">were also burnt. In Kogi State, at least 50 people have been killed, with<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">several still missing following an attack on Oganenigwu in Dekina Local<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Government Area of the State by herdsmen.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The Security Council has five permanent members: China, France, Russian<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and ten<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">non-permanent members elected for two-year terms by the General Assembly.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The non-permanent members are: Bolivia; Cte dIvoire; Equatorial Guinea;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Ethiopia; and Kazakhstan. Others are: Kuwait; Netherlands; Peru; Poland;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and Sweden.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The presidency of the Council is held by each of the members in turn for<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">one month, following the English alphabetical order of the Member States<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">names. The current president of the Council is the Netherlands.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jb_0 X_6MGW N_6Fd5\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"H_7jIs D_F ab_C Q_69H5 E_36RhU\" data-test-id=\"toolbar-hover-area\">\n<div class=\"D_F W_6D6F r_BN gl_C\" data-test-id=\"card-toolbar\">\n<div class=\"D_F ab_C en_0 b_Z14vXdP e_3mS2U I_52qC P_Z1otBpf\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has sent an open letter to the UN Security Council and its members urging them to: Urgently hold a special session on Nigeria and&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19332,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
