June 12 and the international pursuit of justice for Abiola

Femi Falana's article examines the overlooked role of the Campaign for Democracy (CD) in Nigeria's pro-democracy struggle after June 12, 1993, contrasting with the frequent recognition given to NADECO. It highlights the international case Abiola v. Abubakar filed in a U.S. federal court, which has become a landmark in universal jurisdiction for human rights violations.

Falana stresses the need to acknowledge these neglected dimensions to fully understand the June 12 legacy and reinforce global principles of justice and democratic accountability.
