HUMAN RIGHTS AND CONFLICTS RESOLUTION CENTRE ABAKALIKI
If you want Peace, Cultivate Justice
The very Successful and interactive training touched on the Police Act vs the Nigerian Constitution, The instruments of Human Rights and the ACJA especially in light of the just domesticated ACJL in Ebonyi state. Together we will make Human Rights a reality in the land
In collaboration with Youths for Human Rights International and National Human Rights Commission, HRCRC organized a One Day Training on Human Rights for Police Officers of Ebony State Command.
A core part of HRCRC work is on Child Protection and sensitization. Along with Raphael Ukusaga, – the designated child safeguarding officer of St Patrick’s Missionary Society SPS West Africa District, our mother organization – HRCRC visited Comprehensive High School, Oriuzor in Ezza North to sensitize her teachers and students on child rights/Protection and revitalize the child rights club in a bid to sustain the awareness campaign.
Also, we visited the traditional rulers of the Ezza nation for same purpose…
Furthermore, the resource person; Mr. Raphael Okusaga, Child safeguarding officer of St. Patrick’s Missionary Society, West-Africa region during a training for all workers and volunteers of the organisation across all our branches in Ebonyi state.
The Child Right Act (2003) is a legal instrument that provides for the measures meant to ensure the development and protection of children.
Vulnerable adults are persons who, though above 18years are dependent on others by virtue of old age, illness, mental incapacity, etc.
The traditions and rituals of our communities have an impact on how children and vulnerable adults are valued and cared for.
We are committed to ensuring that our values, beliefs and attitude towards children and vulnerable adult are tailored into influencing our ability to act to towards safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.
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.
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.
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…
