Based on the principles of sharing experience and fraternity, and in association with the Nigerian partners, the action of ASF France in Nigeria aims to three principal objectives:

1. To favour the promotion of the Rule of law, notably through the defence of the right to a fair trial, leaning on the fundamental texts protecting the Human Rights ratified by Nigeria and the Nigerian Constitution.
2. To favour a local jurisprudence moving away atrocious, inhuman and degrading punishments like scourging, amputation and stoning and respecting the fundamental rights of the accused, notably the women and the children particularly affected by these treatments.
3. To take part in the abolition of death penalty bringing its support and  expertness to the local lawyers and jurists, by taking into consideration all the local cultural, social and juridical specificities.
