CUSTOMARY COURT AS A TOOL FOR ACHIEVING THE UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL NUMBER 16
Abstract
A veritable starting point in dealing with this topic is to state in clear terms the nature and concept of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)24 of the United Nations (UN). The SDGs are a collection of Seventeen (17) interlinked objectives designed by the UN to serve as a “shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet now and into the future”. This global vision set to be actualized from 2016-2030 was adopted by the UN Sustainable Summit held in September 2015 with a view to catching on to the successes of a similar development goal which is the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The SDGs consist of seventeen (17) goals and one hundred and sixty-nine (169) achievable targets geared toward eradicating poverty and realizing a sustainable world. It is noteworthy that these seventeen SDGs25 are universally applicable and not limited to developing countries but inclusive of developed countries. It pledges to leave no one behind through its implementation processes.
