The LLM students engaged in an O.I.L exercise which focused on the IDLO’s 2030 agenda to promote the rule of law as a key enabler of Africa’s sustainable development across all the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), through its engagement with the UN General Assembly as part of an Africa Initiative programme, which embraced Kenya, Liberia, Mali and South Sudan.
