    Good offices: a veritable alternative dispute resolution tool for peace and nation building
    (2023-10) Bamgbose, O.
    Disputes are a part of life for living creatures, from insects to human beings. While insects or animals mayfightfor space, territory and dominance, human beings and countries fight each other for territory and may engage in war. Throughout history, differences resulting in conflict were resolved, are still being resolved and will continue to be resolved. The traditional societies settled and still settle family disputes without interference from and invitation to the third parties who are not members of that family. The dominance of the British through colonization introduced cultures hitherto unknown into many societies. This also included a justice system foreign to the people. Litigation was one of such. The taking of a dispute out of the family or community jurisdiction, to a court that is set up by the state was introduced and adopted. Litigation was adopted as a process with its advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages and the problems in litigation brought about a search for an alternative. These alternatives are not totally free of problems but are more acceptable in respect to certain types of cases, than litigation. It is therefore an alternative to litigation. People who have a common identity tend to stay together to build unified societies and nations. However, there are situations that may make it difficult or impossible for people to stay together. In such situations, if actions are not promptly taken to resolve the issues, there may be conflict. This paper looks at the concepts of conflict and conflict resolution, peace in the midst of conflict and the efforts that are made at nation building. The paper, through the use of case studies to support a preposition, suggests that the use of alternatives dispute resolution (ADR) methods in some cases, through the establishment of a grounded ADR structure in place, to resolve conflict rather than the use of litigation may be a solution to nation building.

    The right to life and the battle over children’s life: baby Charlie Gard in perspective
    (Nigerian National human rights Commission, Abuja, 2017) Bamgbose, O.
    The Convention of the Right of the Child provides that every child has an inherent right to life. This means the child has a right to survival and development. Parents of a child have the responsibility, rights and duties to take "appropriate direction and guidance in the exercise by the child of the rights recognized in the Convention" The Government has the responsibility to ensure that the rights of a child are respected protected and fulfilled. Article 3 of the Convention states that the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration in all actions taken on behalf of a child. The paper considered the case of baby Charlie Gard, a baby boy, born in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2016, with a genetic defect resulting in a rare disease and the battle between the parents, the hospital where he was being treated for the rare disease and the court.
