The ECOWAS Court of Justice says Nigeria has the highest number of unenforced judgments issued by the court
The Court’s Deputy Chief Registrar, Gaye Sowe, said this on Wednesday, while presenting enforcement statistics for the region during the commemoration of World Human Rights Day, which showed a persistent pattern of non-compliance across several member states.
According to him, Nigeria has 50 outstanding judgments yet to be enforced.
President of the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice, Ricardo Gonçalves, urged ECOWAS countries, especially Nigeria, to fully enforce its judgments, cooperate with national and regional human rights bodies, and ensure victims have access to justice without barriers.
