| Abstract: | This paper examines selected International Human Rights instruments on reproductive health rights in Nigeria. These include, The Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Right 1966, the Convention for the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women 1979 as well as the I948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, also known as the Women’s Convention, profoundly and expressly discusses human rights regarding family planning services maternal health information as well as enlightenment on choice of the number and spacing of one’s children. These treaties went ahead to initiate the formation of Committees whose functions are to monitor States’ compliance with the obligations that they have endorsed. This paper adopts the doctrinal method of research- which is qualitative in nature and mostly library based. The methodology of this paper involves collated information necessary to verify or support legal hypothesis, decision-making and actions. This paper also highlights some of the reproductive health issues embraced in these instruments, which include, harmful traditional practices, Female Genital Mutilation, indigenous Widowhood practices, Under - aged marriages, Domestic violence, Abortion, HIV/AIDS (management of the diseases, as well as dealing with the problem of stigmatization), Maternal mortality / morbidities and Family planning. This paper finds that in spite of the existence of these international instruments, there is a gap in implementation and enforcement. This paper further finds that some party States (for instance Nigeria), who are parties to these international instruments (treaties. declarations and provisions) though ratified, have not taken steps to incorporate and create a mechanism for the enforcement and implementation of these rights. Nigeria for instance has ratified a number of international instruments but has not domesticated same into its municipal laws. This is obviously due to the crippling effect of the provisions of section 12 of the 1999 Constitution as amended. This paper concludes with recommendations such as the revision of section 12 of the CFRN as one of the ways forward for the enforcement and implementation of these international instruments, which will inevitably help strengthen the legal framework on protection of reproductive health and rights in Nigeria. |
