Abstract
The paper examines Nigeria’s multi-religious and multi-ethnic pluralism and the attendant peace and security challenges. It observes that the advent of Islam and Christianity increase the symphony of diversities in the Nigerian territorial space that has been ethnically and linguistically heterogeneous in nature. The paper reviews the existing mechanisms for the management of the country’s diversities and identifies the existing gaps with these initiatives. It identifies the human rights principles in Nigeria based on the 1999 Constitution and other international treaties to which the country is signatory. The paper further explores the viability or otherwise of a right-based approach in the promotion of interfaith and inter-ethnic harmony in Nigeria.
