Civil liberties and human rights is a distinct area of law – legally enforceable rights and responsibilities underpin every legal system. The Human Rights Charter of the African Union and the relevant provisions of the Nigerian Constitution guarantees the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms in Nigeria. Convention rights affect ordinary people in every area of public and private lives.

Human Rights affect relations not only between individuals and public authorities but also between individuals themselves. It impinges not only upon the behaviour of public authorities, the courts and tribunals, but also upon disputes regarding contract, commercial and insurance matters, personal injury, family, welfare, education, disability, mental health, immigration, property, employment, defamation, privacy, tax, planning and the environment and criminal law and more.

However slowly the wheels of justice may grind, we at Pelham Solicitors are determined to see to it that our clients’ rights are enforced and protected at all times.
