By CIUGU MWAGIRUMore by this AuthorAs the World Press Freedom Day was marked on Wednesday, Nairobi hosted two conferences: one on law and the other on women’s rights. Among participants at the law conference, which brought together more than 400 delegates from 47 Asian and African governments, were 12 justice ministers and eight attorneys-general. At the Bandung meeting, states committed to forge Asian-African cooperation “in the quest for an egalitarian and just international legal order”. Other agenda items were immunity of state officials from foreign criminal jurisdiction under the Vienna Convention, environmental matters and the international law in cyberspace. Femnet executive director Dinah Musindarwezo said the meetings would provide a platform to reflect on the role of women’s rights organisations.
