PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

The International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) presents its fact-finding report Rule of law in Malawi: The road to recovery. The report follows the visit of a high-level delegation of legal experts’ to Malawi in January 2012, to assess the state of the rule of law in the country.
 
Since the IBAHRI undertook the mission, Malawi’s political landscape has changed dramatically. The IBAHRI report considers progress already made in Malawi’s ‘road to recovery’, since January 2012, as well as highlighting important areas of reform still needed to complete Malawi’s journey.
 
To mark the release of the report the IBAHRI invites you to attend a high-level panel discussion on the rule of law in Malawi, addressing the key themes, findings and recommendations of the report. The IBAHRI’s report will be available to those attending the debate and the report will subsequently be available online via the IBAHRI website.
