Nigerian authorities are currently facing criticism over the conduct of trials involving suspected members of the militant group Boko Haram. Human Rights Watch has characterized the judicial proceedings as ineffective and flawed, raising concerns about the integrity of the legal process in addressing the ongoing insurgency.

The organization is calling on the Nigerian government to shift its focus toward prosecuting serious international crimes and ensuring that all future trials meet credible legal standards. These recommendations emphasize the need for a more robust judicial approach to hold perpetrators accountable while upholding due process, as the country continues to grapple with the long-term impact of the conflict.
