The theme for the Third Edition of the AUCIL forum was: “Codification of International Law at the Regional Level in Africa”.

The Forum contributed to and shaped the development of international law by considering further codification of the international law of Africa in fields where there has already been extensive State practice, precedent and doctrine in the African continent.
