Judges considered for oversight role in enforcing political reconciliation agreements.
A judiciary-led oversight mechanism is being proposed to monitor the follow-through of peace agreements between state actors, beginning with the Rivers State pact.
Lawyers and judges are said to draft guidelines for reporting, compliance tracking, and dispute resolution, aiming to instill accountability.
Supporters believe this model can prevent relapse into political chaos where agreements are not honored.
Critics caution that judicial involvement in inherently political agreements may blur separation of powers unless unchecked.
