Neco Model Questions Vol1 2020 Civic Education Question 15
Practice objective / multiple choice question 15 from the 2020 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Civic Education examination.
Nigeria ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in 1992. Article 19 of the ICCPR guarantees the right to freedom of expression but permits restrictions that are "provided by law" and "necessary for respect of the rights or reputations of others". In 2020 a new law criminalised any statement that "undermines national unity" with a penalty of up to 5 years imprisonment, and 12 persons have been convicted under it. Considering Article 19 and the principle of "necessity", is the 2020 law compatible with Nigeria's international obligations? Answer "Compatible" or "Incompatible".
