Aluko & Oyebode, a top-tier full-service law firm in Nigeria, is set to co-host the International Law Association (Nigeria Branch) Africa Policy Dialogue alongside the International Law Association (Nigeria Branch), the Federal Ministry of Justice of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Vienna. The dialogue will take place on August 20, 2026, in Vienna, Austria as a high level side event during the 82nd Biennial Conference of the International Law Association (ILA).

Held under the theme, “Peace, Prosperity and the Future of International Law: Geopolitics and Geoeconomics in a Fragmenting World,” the dialogue will convene senior government officials, diplomats, legal practitioners, policymakers, academics and institutional leaders to examine the geopolitical and geoeconomic shifts reshaping the world and their implications for Africa.

Against a backdrop of increasing geopolitical rivalry, geoeconomic competition and evolving approaches to global governance, the dialogue will explore how African States can strengthen governance, safeguard national interests, deepen intra-African economic integration and build the legal and institutional capacity required to compete effectively in a rapidly changing global landscape.
