HRCRC has continued to sustain her media campaign on UNITY FM 101.5 to talk about issues that bother on Peacebuilding, Conflict Resolution, Human Rights, holding leaders accountable amongst other realistic issues.
MEDIA CAMPAIGN
HRCRC: Experts at ADR
Complainant: “You may investigate this matter, to ascertain who is right, who is telling the truth.”
Mediator: “When we find out who’s telling the truth, what do we do with the information?”
Complainant: “So some sort of punishment can be meted out on the wrong party.”
As an organization, we have entertained cases where parties hold on to the above idea about dispute resolution.
Mediation, conciliation and arbitration as alternative method to dispute resolution fosters a win-win situation, where parties are not told who is wrong and who is right, but are made to consciously see their own mistakes and voluntarily through compromise, bury the hatchet and seek peace and reconciliation.
Mediation and conciliation does not seek to ascertain who is wrong and punish him (this is solely the purpose of litigation), it seeks to solve the problem, mend the rift and salvage the relationship between both parties.
This method is currently encouraged by our court as they insist on parties exhausting the option of settling out of court through mediation and conciliation before litigation.
HRCRC as a organization is saddled with the responsibility of fighting for the human rights of everyone. However, in matter which are not about fundamental rights enforcement, we wage peace, we resolve conflicts because we are Human Rights and CONFLICT RESOLUTION CENTRE.
“Blessed are the peace makers for they shall be called the sons of God.”
Do have a peaceful weekend.
From all of us @hrcrc.
HRCRC losses and Immortalizes Staff – Cyril Anadebe
With a deep sense of loss, HRCRC announced the demise of an ex Executive Director, peacemaker and activist – Mr Cyril Anadebe. He has since been laid to rest in his home town; Nise in Anambra State.
HRCRC decided to immortalize his name by unveiling a plaque in his honour and a memorial lamp to burn perpetually in his memory inside the reception of HRCRC office Complex.
And so the memorial mass for Cyril Anadebe, and unveiling of a plaque in his honour, and the lighting of a lamp to burn perpetually in his memory all took place in HRCRC office complex…
Officiating was Rev. Fr. Kevin O’Hara SPS (HRCRC founder), Rev Fr. Vincent Agumbiade SPS, and Rev. Fr. John Awoke SPS joining us later…
Present were Cyril’s Family, HRCRC extended family, media partners and well wishers.

HRCRC seeks an end to the Agila Ngbo Conflict that continues to claim lives
The Right to life on which all other human rights hinge is usually firstly abused and disregarded in inter communal conflicts. Such is the case of Ngbo – Agila of Ebonyi and Benue states of Nigeria boundary dispute that has raged for decades along with the commensurate destruction in its wake.
In an effort to draw attention to the waton killings and destructions going on in the various inter and intra communal conflicts going on in the state, HRCRC facilitated an interview with journalists for a victim of the attacks who lost an elder and younger brother on same day gruesomely to a wave of the attacks.
Whilst we intensify efforts in collaboration with other bodies such as the National Human Rights Commission for both states to find a lasting peaceful accord for the crisis, we appeal for calm and peace; as war and fighting never resolves a crisis instead breeds vengefulness culminating in a viscous circle. communication and dialogue does.
We apologize for the violence in the images. T
hey are however the reality that confronts certain persons…. Some victims of the last wave of attacks some weeks ago.
