Some of these crises when resolved at arbitration have not produced lasting peace because of the awarding nature of result that may not accommodate the parties in the process of arriving at final decisions. Thus, Good offices and mediation stand out as diplomatic methods of traditional dispute settlement endorsed in the Charter of the United Nations (1945). The study is saddled with the quest of unraveling the reasons for the irregular adoption and prioritization of good offices and mediation by conflict parties in international relations. The study combined the realist theory of Jurisprudence and the Constructivist theory of international relations to arrive at some findings which border on the similarities and differences between Good offices and mediation and its relevance as mechanisms for international dispute settlement. The study adopts the doctrinal legal research methodology and recommends that Good offices and mediation should be prioritized. It concludes that a good offices provider should know when negotiation is ripe for transition from good offices to mediation in other not to dampen the enthusiasm of the parties to reach final decision themselves.","PeriodicalId":499749,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF LAW AND GLOBAL POLICY","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136113693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study critically assessed the legislative challenges that impede the realization of both human rights and the SDGs in Nigeria. Human rights have taken a significant role in international jurisdictions, transcending geographical boundaries, inclusive of rights inherent to all individuals by virtue of their humanity. While promoting the right of life, liberty, fair trial, and human dignity, are enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution, instances of human rights violations persist, despite the presence of human rights groups and the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). This paper examined human rights scholarly literature in Nigeria, identifying key challenges facing the achievement of SDG 2030 of United Nations, whose main agenda seeks to enhance public access to information and protect human rights in line with national and international agreements. It highlights institutional barriers, and the need for improved policy coherence to create an enabling environment for sustainable development. This study identifies challenges stemming from inadequate monitoring systems, manipulation of adjudication processes, low salaries, indebtedness, and security deficiencies. To foster inclusivity and progress, the researcher proposes a multifaceted approach that combines legal reforms, policy interventions, and civil society engagement. Specific strategies include the enactment of comprehensive human rights legislation, targeted measures to address social and economic inequalities, accountability, judicial autonomy, public awareness and participation to empower the populace to seek redress for rights violations. These strategies aim to create a synergy between human rights and SDGs, aligning national priorities with global objective","PeriodicalId":499749,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF LAW AND GLOBAL POLICY","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135766009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
