This workshop delves into the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and its implications for harmonizing conflict of laws, with a special emphasis on the Canadian perspective. It aims to offer a thorough understanding of AfCFTA’s objectives, its potential to diminish trade barriers, and foster non-discriminatory market access throughout Africa.
This workshop encompasses a broad spectrum of subjects, including the diversity of legal systems and the challenges posed by variations in substantive laws and conflict of law rules.
It sheds light on global and regional efforts towards legal harmonization, including the Hague Conventions on Private International Law (HCCH), the Rome I Regulation, and Canadian initiatives to harmonize interprovincial and international laws.
In addition, this workshop explores OHADA’s role in unifying substantive commercial laws across Africa and calls for enhanced harmonization within the AfCFTA framework.
Participants can expect to deepen their understanding of the legal challenges and opportunities presented by AfCFTA, especially within the context of international business and trade law.
Through an exploration of diverse efforts and harmonization models worldwide, participants will gain insights into the critical need for fostering a predictable and stable legal environment for businesses operating across Africa.
