The International Law Association (ILA), Nigeria Branch, invites scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and students to its 9th Annual Conference, a premier platform for critical dialogue on international law and its evolving role in addressing global challenges.

The 2026 conference focuses on the urgent theme — “Mitigating Economic and Financial Crime Risks in a Shifting Global Order: The Role of International Law.” It will explore how international legal frameworks can effectively respond to emerging threats posed by transnational economic crimes, financial misconduct, and global instability.

In an era marked by shifting geopolitical dynamics, rapid digitalisation, and growing financial vulnerabilities, the conference seeks to re-examine international cooperation, regulatory standards, and enforcement mechanisms that promote transparency, accountability, and sustainable development.

This hybrid event will bring together international law experts, academics, government officials, industry leaders, and students to exchange ideas, share research, and propose actionable strategies for combating economic and financial crimes across borders.
