Boko Haram and the Child’s Right to Education in Africa: Examining the Accountability of Non-state Armed Groups

Download PDF

This article discusses the accountability debate surrounding the activities
of non-state actors and its impact on the realisation of the child’s right to
education. It examines the legal framework for the protection of the right
to education during emergencies and armed conflicts. The article focuses
on Boko Haram as an example of a non-state armed group. In this
respect, it considers the sect’s history and its ideological beliefs, and shows
that its activities are a result of its ideologies. It delves into the
accountability debate and suggests various approaches towards holding
faceless armed groups accountable for rights violations, generally, and the
violation of the child’s right to education, in particular.
