Relief International Africa joins the global community in commemorating the 2024 United Nations International Justice Day, marking a significant milestone in our collective pursuit of justice, equality, and human rights for all.
This year’s theme, “Building a Just and Equitable Future,” resonates deeply with Relief International Africa’s mission to empower vulnerable communities, promote social cohesion, and advance access to justice in Nigeria and across the continent.
As part of the programs put together to commemorate the International Justice Day 2024, Relief International Africa will be launching a Human Rights Intervention Program, named the Human Rights Clinic on Thursday 29th February, 2024. This is designed to intervene in a wide range of human rights issues, including but not limited to domestic violence, reporting and documentation of Human Rights abuses, and public interest litigations. Our objective is to provide a platform for individuals who have experienced violations of their fundamental rights to seek redress and justice.
As we reflect on the progress made and the challenges ahead, Relief International Africa reaffirms its commitment to:
1. Upholding Human Rights: We remain steadfast in our commitment to protecting and promoting human rights, particularly for those affected by conflict, displacement, and poverty.
2. Strengthening Access to Justice: We continue to work tirelessly to enhance access to justice for marginalized communities, including refugees, internally displaced persons, and vulnerable populations, ensuring they have a voice and legal recourse in seeking justice and accountability.
3. Promoting Rule of Law: We advocate for the rule of law as a cornerstone of stable and inclusive societies, fostering environments where justice, fairness, and accountability prevail.
4. Fostering Peace and Reconciliation: We support efforts to build sustainable peace and reconciliation processes, addressing root causes of conflict and fostering social cohesion to prevent recurrence of violence and injustice.
5. Empowering Communities: We empower communities to become agents of change, advocating for their rights, engaging in decision-making processes, and driving sustainable development initiatives that promote justice and equity.
On this auspicious occasion, Relief International Africa calls upon governments, civil society organizations, and the international community to renew their commitment to advancing justice, equality, and human rights for all. Together, let us build a future where justice is not a privilege but a fundamental right, where no one is left behind, and where dignity and respect prevail.
