Nigeria's high standing in the UN General Assembly is underscored by the contributions to global peace.
Nigeria has been contributing much financially, morally, etc, to the liberation movements which is one of the main principles of the United Nations Organization. For instance, Michael Olisa et el (1991) pointed out that the prominent role which Nigeria played in the United Nations from the 1970s brought about its permanent representation in the UN. In addition, Leslie Harriman was appointed the chairman of the special committee against apartheid.
Nigeria has also played prominent and satisfactory roles in conflict resolution.
