AfSIL 15th Annual Conference

The African Society of International Law (AfSIL) will host its 15th Annual Conference on November 6-7, 2026, in Kigali, Rwanda. This event brings together scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to discuss pressing issues in international law, with a focus on Africa's role and perspectives.

The 2026 conference theme is "Africa and the Challenge of Reparation in International Law." Sessions will explore how international courts and tribunals conceptualize reparation, examine African experiences with historical and contemporary injustices such as colonialism, slavery, apartheid, and human rights violations, and consider how African perspectives can influence the development of international law in this area.

Attendees can expect a range of sessions, including keynote addresses, panel discussions, and workshops. The conference will also provide ample networking opportunities, allowing participants to engage with peers, share research, and collaborate on future projects.

This conference is ideal for legal scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and students interested in international law, human rights, and African legal studies. It offers a platform to engage with contemporary legal challenges and contribute to the discourse on reparation and justice in the African context.
