Abstract

This report forms part of the ongoing City reports on International Project commissioned by the International Law Associations' Study Group on Cities in International Law. The focus of this report is on Lagos, Nigeria. To fully appreciate the scope and nature of Lagos' interactions with international law, the analysis in this report takes into consideration the history, multi-dimensional character and identity of Lagos. From the perspective of international legal history, the report looks at the historical context of Lagos's interaction with international law, especially during the era of the transatlantic slave trade. The report also considers the Legal, socio-economic and political contexts of Lagos' interaction with international law.

期刊介绍： Law, Probability & Risk is a fully refereed journal which publishes papers dealing with topics on the interface of law and probabilistic reasoning. These are interpreted broadly to include aspects relevant to the interpretation of scientific evidence, the assessment of uncertainty and the assessment of risk. The readership includes academic lawyers, mathematicians, statisticians and social scientists with interests in quantitative reasoning. The primary objective of the journal is to cover issues in law, which have a scientific element, with an emphasis on statistical and probabilistic issues and the assessment of risk. Examples of topics which may be covered include communications law, computers and the law, environmental law, law and medicine, regulatory law for science and technology, identification problems (such as DNA but including other materials), sampling issues (drugs, computer pornography, fraud), offender profiling, credit scoring, risk assessment, the role of statistics and probability in drafting legislation, the assessment of competing theories of evidence (possibly with a view to forming an optimal combination of them). In addition, a whole new area is emerging in the application of computers to medicine and other safety-critical areas. New legislation is required to define the responsibility of computer experts who develop software for tackling these safety-critical problems.
