He urged the country to apply international law and international humanitarian law in dealing with Boko Haram.

 He said, “We would like to support your efforts. We believe all relevant actors; military, civilian as well as humanitarian should come together.

 “In situations such as what we have in the northeast, international law and international humanitarian law should apply.

”We believe in your efforts to end the conflict; military effort alone probably will not be sufficient without identifying and addressing the socio-economic factors causing it. “
