ABSTRACT
The complex relationship between human rights and national security in Nigeria has been a subject of intense debate and scrutiny. This study critically examines the legal framework that governs this relationship, focusing on the role of security agencies and the judiciary in balancing national security with the protection of fundamental human rights. Through data analysis and graphical representation, the study highlights cases of human rights violations by security agencies, the impact of counter-terrorism laws, and the use of emergency powers. The study also evaluates the judiciary's role in safeguarding human rights and the success rate of human rights cases against the government from 2010 to 2023. The findings reveal a consistent increase in human rights violations, particularly by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), and a gradual improvement in judicial victories against the government. The study recommends legal reforms, independent oversight mechanisms, and adherence to international best practices to strike a balance between national security and human rights protection.
