I am deeply grateful to the organisers of the African International Economic Law Network’s 6th Biennial Conference for inviting me to deliver this keynote address. The coming three days promise to be academically stimulating and enriching. From the programme schedule, it is evident that your presentations, questions, and contributions will traverse many diverse fields. At the same time, they demonstrate the interconnectedness of the various sub-fields of international economic law. In this regard, the leadership of the African International Economic Law Network deserves our praise and commendation for managing this vibrant academic network, as well as for organising this Conference here in Accra. It is refreshing to see the growth and maturity of the organisation from its humble beginnings as the African branch of the Society of International Economic Law. It is also very heartening to see that scholars with an interest in African international economic law have found a natural and befitting home.
