West Africa has experienced its share of atrocities

In its current post-conflict setting, Côte d’Ivoire is reinforcing its efforts and is looking into using the law as a means to fight such crimes.
The opening session will be presided by the President of the National Assembly, in the presence of high-level State representatives as well as the Vice-Chair of the Africa Working Group of GAAMAC.
