This legal Journal is devoted to the administration of justice within different countries. It also strives to deepen understanding of and widen agreement on the principles of the rule of law in all countries.
An African Conference on the Rule of Law was organized by the ICJ in Lagos, Nigeria on January 3-7, 1961. The Conference was the first step in a long-range program to develop the Commission’s relations with jurists from African countries and to encourage an exchange of views and legal information among themselves as well as with the rest of the international legal community.
Preparations for the Conference were carried on for over a year, and consultations were held with leading African scholars and practitioners in search of an agenda which would be based on the Conclusions of Delhi and project the principles of the Rule of Law established therein to the realities confronting the old as well as the new countries of Africa.
