Abstract:ECOWAS is the first major grouping of African states to take a concrete step towards the creation of a defence organization. Will the ECOWAS protocol relating to mutual assistance on defence really contribute to regional security and the security of the various member countries of the organization? This article seeks to outline the principal factors that have recently generated considerable concern for security in the West African region, discusses the nature content and implications of the defence pact, and assesses its potential as an instrument of regional security.
