The African Union (AU), in partnership with the U.S. Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, held a Global Coalition Continental Consultation on October 22-25, 2024, in Antananarivo, Madagascar. The event brought together AU member states, international organizations, and law enforcement stakeholders to address the persistent challenges posed by synthetic drug trafficking in Africa.

In a coordinated effort to advance Africa’s climate justice agenda, African legal advisors, the African Union Commission on International Law, and strategic partners gathered at the Permanent Observer Mission of the African Union to the UN in New York. The meeting, led by the African Union Office of the Legal Counsel, was aimed at preparing for the upcoming International Court of Justice (ICJ) oral proceedings on International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion on the Obligations of States in respect of Climate Change, scheduled for December 2024.
