A/HRC/11/26* Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as well as to address the relevant United Nations bodies and mechanisms, in particular the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (OHCHR).

It called upon Nigeria to formally request such assistance. 29. Morocco congratulated Nigeria for the establishment of the National Commission on Human Rights and for its commitment to human rights and progress in the democratic transition since 1999.

It invited the international community to respect the principle of the indivisibility of human rights and attach equal importance to civil and political and socio economic rights. Côte d’Ivoire recommended Nigeria pursues its efforts to ensure efficient work by the Commission for Financial and Economic Crimes. It also recommended that Nigeria, with the assistance and strengthened support of the international community, continue with its constitutional approach of subtle balance between constitutional respect for different historical and cultural different context, decentralisation through federalism and the inherited burden of decades of military totalitarianism and the Government’s will to strongly turn towards democracy. 32.

Brazil recommended that Nigeria (a) within the context of Human Rights Council resolution 9/12, entitled “Human Rights Goals”, ratify CPPG and the two Optional Protocols to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, (b) establish a moratorium on executions, with a view to abolishing the death penalty and (c) continue efforts to internalize the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women.
