AfSIL are pleased to circulate the Call for Papers for AfSIL’s 15th Annual Conference, to be held on 6-7 November 2026 in Kigali, Rwanda, on the theme “Africa and the Challenge of Reparation in International Law.”
The conference seeks to provide a rigorous, practice-oriented forum for interrogating foundational questions in reparation in international law. How have international courts and tribunals conceptualized the forms, functions, and limits of reparation? What distinctive insights and claims emerge from African experiences with historical and contemporary injustice, including colonialism, slavery, apartheid, and serious human rights violations? And how might African perspectives continue to shape the progressive development of international law in this area?
AfSIL warmly encourage submissions from scholars and practitioners across disciplines, career stages, and methodological approaches.
AfSIL particularly welcomes contributions from early-career scholars and emerging voices. The deadline for abstract submissions (300-500 words, in English or French) is 20 February 2026.
Further details are outlined in the attached Call for Papers.
