DEAN’S MESSAGE

kofi abostiThe Faculty of Law at GIMPA is pleased to be able to host the conference on international criminal justice at this epochal era in the life of that regime. The annual conferences present an opportunity to gather a community of scholars and academics, experts, and practitioners to critically review trends, emerging developments and challenges confronting the law in specific fields. As a school, we are convinced that the platform of a conference presents an opportunity to network in our thinking, works and strategizing as we plot to overcome existing challenges and nascent obstacles. This year’s thematic focus on international criminal justice reflects the growing importance and need to address the core barriers in the way of its development. I look forward to welcoming you to the serene Greenhill campus for a fruitful deliberation. - Dean Kofi Abotsi
