Fatshimetrie: Crossed Views on Constitutional Law at the University of Kinshasa
On Saturday, June 22, the Department of Internal Public Law at the University of Kinshasa hosted a significant intellectual event: a scientific conference on the cross-views of the subject of constitutional law. This meeting, organized in tribute to the eminent deceased constitutionalist professors, Djelo Empenge and Kitete Kekumba, was an opportunity for participants to explore in depth the different dimensions of power in constitutional law.
The Dean of the Faculty of Law at UNIKIN, Professor Jean-Louis Esambo, opened the conference by emphasizing the importance of studying power in its multiple aspects: its source, its organization, its functioning and its loss. This holistic approach allows jurists and researchers in constitutional law to grasp the complexity of political systems and to better understand the issues that arise from them.
Through rich exchanges and lively debates, the participants analyzed the implications of constitutional law on the country’s political life. The discussions focused in particular on the mechanisms of control and balance of powers, the protection of the fundamental rights of citizens and the issue of democratic governance.
In resonance with the country’s political news, the theme of the conference was of particular importance. In this period of transition and institutional reforms, it is essential for political actors and citizens to examine the foundations of constitutional law and grasp its full scope.
Through this scientific conference, the University of Kinshasa has once again demonstrated its commitment to academic excellence and the promotion of knowledge. By allowing researchers and students to come together around themes as crucial as constitutional law, it contributes to enriching public debate and strengthening the foundations of the rule of law.
In conclusion, this conference on the cross-views of the object of constitutional law at the University of Kinshasa was a success both academically and intellectually. By highlighting the different facets of power in constitutional law, it opened new perspectives for reflection and allowed for a deeper understanding of contemporary political issues. A commendable initiative that deserves to be welcomed and encouraged as part of the influence of legal research in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
