Local Perspectives on Security and Human Rights in the Delta
During the Plenary meeting of the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights in 2007, IKV Pax Christi highlighted the challenge to engage civil society with the Voluntary Principles (VPs) at the local level. In 2007, IKV Pax Christi, together with SDN and the CSCR decided to carry out a pilot project aimed to:
raise awareness about the VPs among Niger Delta communities and CSOs;
document local perceptions on issues of security and respect for human rights;
assess the VPs potential to contribute to security and respect for human rights;
identify options for effective civil society engagement with the VPs.
