The Editorial Board of the Kabarak Law Review (KLR) is pleased to invite submissions for a special Blog Symposium titled the African Youth Charter @20. As we approach the 20th anniversary of the Charter’s adoption, this symposium seeks to provide a platform for critical reflection on its impact, the legal barriers facing African youth today, and the concept of waithood  in the 21st century.

We welcome reflections on youth political participation, state accountability, and the domestication of the Charter at national levels. The  Blog articles should be between 1,000 and 2,000 words.

Submissions are accepted in English or Swahili.

Authors must adhere to the Kabarak University Legal Citation Guide (KALCI).
