The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has launched the use of digital tools to support advocacy and rapid response to address human rights violations in hard-to-reach locations and enhance protection for displaced and forcibly displaced persons across seven states.
Tony Ojukwu, the Executive Secretary of the Commission, stated this during a
capacity building on crowdsourcing human rights protection mechanisms under the NHRC/UNHCR Project for the Protection of internally displaced persons and forcibly displaced persons through information/data collection and documentation in Nigeria, held in Maiduguri.
According to him, the stakeholders include civil society organisations, community-based organisations, ministries, departments and agencies, community protection action groups, human rights monitors, internally displaced persons and forcibly displaced persons.
Tony urged the Federal Government to utilise digital tools to enhance justice administration in the country.
He highlighted the need for timely, verified, and actionable early warning information on security incidents, displacement movements, and human rights protection risks
