Abstract
This article surveys the various ways in which violations of, and demands for, human rights can be causative and symptomatic of violent conflict. It further explores the interconnectedness between human rights and violent conflict as a critical factor for sustainable peacebuilding and development. The paper reviews the legal framework for Nigeria's peacekeeping interventions under the ECOWAS Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) and situates it within the evolving doctrine of Responsibility to Protect (R2P). The Paper recommends that Nigeria should develop a framework for future peacekeeping engagements that is anchored on the principles of human rights.
