Nigeria's Tinubu sends ICC cooperation, genocide prosecution bills to parliament

President Tinubu transmitted bills to Nigeria's House of Representatives to repeal the Geneva Conventions Act and establish domestic prosecution of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, while strengthening cooperation with the ICC. This marks a legislative move to align Nigerian law with international criminal justice standards, though passage and implementation remain uncertain. The development signals a potential shift in Nigeria's domestic legal framework for atrocity crimes.
