ABSTRACT
United Nations Children Fund is an international Institution that deals with the promotion and protection of the rights of children in times of peace and during emergency situations. Restrictively, this thesis aimed at studying the activities of UNICEF in the promotion and protection of the Rights of the child in Nigeria. The sources of information relied upon are, relevant books, statutes, judicial authorities, articles in Journal publications, newspapers, magazines, and conference and internet materials. The justification for these theses is that, despite the long years of UNICEF’s presence in Nigeria, the situation of the Nigerian child is still very poor. In addition, of recent, many crises have subjected children in Nigeria to untold hardship and reduced them to objects of sympathy, especially, the ongoing Boko Haram crisis in the North-Eastern part of the country where children are involved in calamities along with adults, but painfully, children being vulnerable and defenceless are exposed to all manners of hardship and suffering. Thus, in view of this, the objective of this thesis is to identify the activates of UNICEF that will promote, protect the rights of the child as well as alleviate the suffering of children in Emergency situations in Nigeria. Thus the finding of this research among others is that due to the mandate of UNICEF as an inter-governmental agency, the Fund, although an agency dedicated solely to children, ironically has limited interaction with children and thus lacks practical experience in dealing with children. In view of this, the research was concluded by recommending among others that UNICEF should encourage Child Participation in all its programs as well as initiate programs that will increase direct interaction with children.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
It is generally known and accepted that children need special care and
protection and are dependent upon the aid and assistance of adults,
especially in the early years of their existence. In their early years,
children depend on adults for their feeding, clothing, and indeed all
other aspect of their existence.
Under International Human Rights Law, children are considered to be
among the vulnerable group and therefore are disadvantaged and needs to
be protected by the law. Thus there is no questioning the fact that
children constitute the most vulnerable and powerless members of the
society. However, the concept that children have specific rights
deserving of enforcement and protection is a comparatively modern
development. The popular assumption in times past was that most adults
and parents in particular, had the best interests of the child at heart,
there was thus no necessity to think in terms of children‘s right.
Recognition of children‘s rights grew out of the wider crusade for human
rights, specifically those of women. Indeed, perceptions of the two
groups were largely similar. In the 18th century, for example, both
women and children were generally regarded as a form of property.
The United Nations Children‘s Fund (UNICEF) is a Specialised Agency of
the United Nation, devoted to the health and welfare of children. UNICEF
is headquartered in New York and works with children in over 158
countries. UNICEF originally began as a response to the right of
children in the aftermath of World War II. Its mandate gradually
broadened to include ongoing support for children in all parts of the
world. Currently UNICEF is the leading advocate for children‘s rights,
and works to overcome violence and discrimination against children.
Nigeria was one of the very first African countries where the United
Nations Children‘s Fund (UNICEF) established a programme of cooperation.
UNICEF‘s work for the survival, protection and development of Nigerian
children has continued ever since. Today, UNICEF is still working in
partnership with many stakeholders including children and families to
achieve national and international goals instrumental in the fulfilment
of children‘s right.
