Federal Republic of Nigeria
Sovereign State — National Government; Criminal Justice and Capital Punishment Policy (rhetorical comparator)Description
A sovereign West African nation invoked in dialogue as an exemplar of a state that continues to impose capital punishment on persons who were juveniles at the time of their offenses. In the current material Nigeria functions solely as a rhetorical comparator—named by a character to shame U.S. policy—and no domestic institutions, policies, or actors are depicted or engaged.
