National Consultants at United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

Posted on Fri 12th Jun, 2015 - hotnigerianjobs.com --- (0 comments)


United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) helps developing countries attract and use aid effectively. In all our activities, we encourage the protection of human rights, capacity development and the empowerment of women.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: National Consultant to Develop Model Administration of Justice Acts and Implementation Guidelines

Location:
Abuja
Type of Contract: Individual Contract
Post Level: National Consultant
Duration of Initial Contract: 83 Working days within the period of 6 months
Expected Duration of Assignment: 83 Working days within the period of 6 months

Background
The enactment of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 on 14 May 2015 is a significant milestone in Nigeria's criminal justice reform process. Some of the key reform areas that the Act introduced relate to the time limit it sets for carrying out investigations, arraignment, and prosecutions of crime suspects; the requirement on the police to record every confessional statement given by a suspect to the police in video or the need for the statement to be endorsed by a legal practitioner thereby putting on check the incidents of use of force or torture to compel suspects to confess crimes that they perhaps did not commit. 

The law further mandates the police to maintain a central criminal record, which is an essential tool for effective crime management in the country. Police commissioners at the Federal and State levels will be required under the law to submit to the Attorneys- General of the States or Federation as the case may be, quarterly reports of persons arrested,  released on bail or refused bail, the bail conditions, as well as those charged to court for prosecution. This innovative provision of the Bill will enable the Attorneys-General to have the proper and timely information on what is going on in the criminal justice system in their respective jurisdictions and to intervene where necessary. The Act, also provides for alternative sentences other than prison custody, such as community service, parole, and suspended sentence, as a way of reducing prison congestion.

The Act is an outcome of a prolonged process of reviewing and harmonizing the Criminal Procedure Code applicable in the Northern States and the Criminal Procedure Act of the Southern States which, if implemented, will modernize the criminal justice system in the country. UNODC under its project, “Support to Justice Sector in Nigeria”, has been supporting the legislative process of this Act together with other development partners. It has also planned to continue supporting the adoption of this Act in its focal States in 2015. United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) under its “Support to Justice Sector in Nigeria” Project has provided technical support towards the enactment of this law at the Federal level.

The next stage being its implementation and adoption at States' levels, the Project seeks to engage national experts to drive the process of developing Model Acts suitable for the Northern and Southern States of the Federation together with elaborate implementation guidelines that will enhance the operationalization of the Act by the concerned justice institutions both at the FCT and the States' level.
