• Three of the four Geneva conventions of 1949, namely those relating to Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field, Amelioration of the Condition of Wounded, Sick and Shipwrecked Members of Armed Forces at Sea, and Treatment of Prisoners of War. • Additional protocols I and II of the Geneva conventions. • The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide of 1948. • The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court of 1998. • The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. • Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa. • Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights on the Establishment of an African Court on Human and People’s Rights. 169. The majority of citizens who interacted with the CRM did not know where to find information on treaties, codes and other standards, as there seemed to be no proper, centralised record-keeping. The CRM was informed that the International Law Department of the Ministry of Justice is the mandated depository and, at state level, the Cabinet office responsible for justice and the administration of law. While every ministry has a representative from the Ministry of Justice, these legal advisers are often not involved in the treaty-making processes undertaken by particular ministries, with the result that most ministries do not submit signed treaties to the depository. The CRM was assured by the relevant authorities (at ministerial level) that, within the next six months, a central repository for all international agreements to which Nigeria is a party will be established in the office of the attorney general and that such a repository will be regularly updated. 170. The CRM learnt that the majority of Nigerians are unaware of the content of many of the treaties signed by government. Several state and nonstate stakeholders expressed the view that government at federal and state level does not disseminate information to the people, the assemblies and even government ministries on treaties that have been assented to or are being drafted and negotiated at international level. Hence there is a hiatus between government and the people which makes implementation more difficult. The failure to disseminate information or undertake consultations on key treaties that have a bearing on certain cultural practices has also contributed to the rejection of certain treaties, including CEDAW. iii.
