Joseph Kpemka insists government has a duty to respect the principle, rules and regulations of any international body it is affiliated to.
“We are living not as an island, but we live by a comity of nations and our membership of international organizations are predicated on principles, on rules, on regulations, and on law,” Kpemka said on 3 FM.
“And so far as you subscribe to an international organization, then you must again agree with the principles, rules, and regulations governing that international organization.
“That’s a basic fact, so fundamental to any agreement that anybody can actually reach.â€
