Venue:
Kigali Convention Centre

Join us in Kigali on 6 June 2025 for a Skills Training Workshop on the Enforcement of Arbitral Awards

 

Developed in conjunction with the ICCA Judiciary Committee, this interactive workshop will provide an overview of the New York Convention and a detailed discussion on how arbitral awards are enforced in various African jurisdictions. The workshop is geared towards young practitioners, and aims to provide attendees with not only the theoretical knowledge of the New York Convention and its history, but the ability to enforce an arbitral award on a practical basis.

 

The workshop will adopt a comparative approach to three jurisdictions in Africa, and will specifically focus on enforcement of awards in Rwanda, South Africa and Nigeria. The panelists will discuss the legal framework for enforcement, before providing a step-by-step overview for the enforcement process, and practical issues to be aware of when enforcing awards in their respective jurisdictions.

 

In the second half of the workshop, participants will have an opportunity to apply what they have learned in the workshop to a detailed fact pattern. This will consist of a guided, Socratic-style discussion with the panelists who will provide real-time feedback to attendees.

 

More details, including speaker information, coming soon.
