“…However, the non-domestication of an international treaty does not detract from the obligation Nigeria has undertaken under that instruments in respect of other nations in international law as long as Nigeria is a signatory to that instrument and have ratified or acceded to the treaty as the case may be (s.27 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties 1969). In Treatment of Polish Nationals and Other Persons of Polish Origin or Speech in the Danzig Territory (1932) the Permanent Court of International Justice in its advisory opinion stated "it should, however, be observed that a state cannot adduce as against another State its own constitution with a view to evading obligations incumbent upon it under international or treaties in force" (Eke, 2020). Nwande (2017: 18) distinguished between a nation's domesticated rights and every other right, which a nation has not recognized as follows:…”

The police have the duty of prevention, investigation and prosecution of crime in the society. In the course of their duties, conflicts arise between the law officers and the civilians. In Nigeria, the police are known for the abuse of legal processes and the right of the citizens often culminating at excessive use of force, unlawful detention and in extreme cases which is rampant extra-judicial killing. This paper gave an exposition of some international legal instruments and standards applicable to law enforcement and how they help curtail abuse of the citizens’ right. The paper found that there is gross abuse of human rights in the course of the duty of the police in Nigeria. It was noted that the police have an obligation to observe, ensure compliance and implementation of these international human rights norms. It was recommended that there should be training and retraining of the police in Nigeria especially in forensic and technologically driven investigation and prevention of crime. Furthermore, corruption in the Nigerian police should be curbed by giving more incentives like salary increase to the police. The paper concluded that implementation of these recommendations will improve police human right observance in Nigeria.

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are omnipresent and define the interactions in society. Within society, there are vulnerable groups of people for whom ICT use is more challenging. Disabled people are the most vulnerable ICT users. To identify the digital divides of access and impact of ICT on disabled users, an exploratory qualitative study was conducted. Relying on a French national association for disability that grants unique access to disabled ICT users, two focus groups and 10 in-depth interviews were carried. The study allows to propose a model of ICT use and effects for disabled people, integrating several types of disabilities. The results show that ICT appropriation by disabled users depends on their perceived self-efficacy in ICT. ICT use can lead to negative effects, including social exclusion and low perceived normalcy. To address societal interests and develop the literature, a research agenda is proposed.
