Torture is a Crime Under International Law – Nigeria Must Be Held Accountable Torture is unequivocally prohibited under international law. The United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT), to which Nigeria is a state party, explicitly states in Article 2(2): "No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification of torture." Furthermore, Article 1 of the Convention defines torture as any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted by or with the consent or acquiescence of public officials. The prohibition of torture is also enshrined in Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, both of which affirm: "No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment." Despite these clear legal norms, the Nigerian regime continues to support and shield the Nigerian Army in its persistent use of torture, arbitrary detention, and extrajudicial actions—particularly against Biafran civilians, activists, and human rights defenders. Documented evidence and firsthand testimonies reveal a disturbing pattern of systemic abuse, targeting the Biafran population for peacefully asserting their right to self-determination. The Nigerian government's complicity in these human rights violations is not only a breach of its international obligations but a crime against humanity under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. We, therefore, condemn in the strongest terms the Nigerian regime's endorsement and concealment of torture and other brutal practices against the Biafran people. These acts cannot go unpunished. The international community must act. It is time to uphold the principles of human dignity and the rule of law by supporting Biafra’s lawful quest for recognition. Biafra is a nation built on justice, democracy, and human rights. Unlike the oppressive Nigerian state, Biafra stands firm in its commitment to international norms and treaties, including the absolute prohibition of torture. Freedom, justice, and the rule of law demand that Biafra be recognized and supported.
