Armed conflicts are characterised by violence and human rights violations with various implications on the citizens, economy and development of nations. The impact is however more pronounced with life-long consequences on children, the most vulnerable members of the society. This article examines the impact of non-international armed conflicts on children in Nigeria and identifies the laws for the protection of children against armed conflicts, both in international law and Nigeria’s domestic law. It also addresses the challenges involved in the protection of children in armed conflict situations in Nigeria. The study found that legal efforts to protect children have not been given sufficient attention in Nigeria. This is mostly due to various challenges, including the fragmentation of legal framework and the refusal to domesticate relevant treaties. It is thus recommended that these challenges be addressed through the implementation of effective legal frameworks.

尼日利亚非国际武装冲突中儿童的法律保护

武装冲突的特点是暴力和侵犯人权,对公民、经济和国家发展产生各种影响。然而,这种影响更为明显,对儿童——社会中最脆弱的成员——造成终生后果。本文研究了非国际性武装冲突对尼日利亚儿童的影响,并确定了国际法和尼日利亚国内法中保护儿童免受武装冲突影响的法律。它还解决了在尼日利亚武装冲突局势中保护儿童方面的挑战。研究发现,在尼日利亚,保护儿童的法律努力没有得到足够的重视。这主要是由于各种挑战,包括法律框架的碎片化和拒绝将相关条约国内化。因此建议通过实施有效的法律框架来应对这些挑战。
