This afternoon at the Kigali Convention Centre, President Kagame opens the Commonwealth Magistrates’ & Judges’ Association (CMJA) Annual Conference.
“Ultimately, the legitimacy of any justice system rests in the trust that citizens have in it. That is the basis of the ability of the courts to ensure respect for due process, and respond swiftly and impartially to any dispute. Without this foundation, we cannot make a fairer and more peaceful world, ” President Kagame said in his remarks.
“In Rwanda, after the Genocide, we embarked on a journey to reform the justice system. This was a deliberate choice, driven by the conviction that the rule of law is a key building block for peace, security, and development. With independent and experienced judges, there is a lot that can be done to protect our environment, and provide justice where it is due,” President Kagame added.
Following the successful Conference held in Cardiff in September 2023, the CMJA held its Annual Conference from 8-12 September 2024 in Kigali Rwanda on the theme “Environmental Justice”. (End)
