**Fatshimetrie: the new reference in the world of international justice**
In the heart of the commune of Ngaliema, in the vibrant city of Kinshasa, is the headquarters of the Congolese Society of International Law, an institution that today honors the Democratic Republic of Congo and arouses the admiration of the entire world.
During the recent visit of the Japanese Ambassador to the DRC, Mr. Ogawa Hidetoshi, the Congolese Society of International Law shone in all its glory, receiving warm congratulations from its Japanese counterpart. This special moment was an opportunity for the Japanese diplomat to salute the work of this Congolese institution and to emphasize the importance of the links of collaboration between the different societies of international law throughout the world.
Congolese Professor Emeritus Sayeman Bula-Bula, an emblematic figure of the Congolese Society of International Law, was able to demonstrate once again the full extent of his knowledge and expertise by presenting his illustrious guest with a copy of the Japanese Yearbook of International Law for the 2023 financial year. This symbolic exchange perfectly illustrates the importance of cooperation and the exchange of knowledge in the field of international law.
The yearbook “First Congolese Yearbook of International Law”, the result of the hard work of Congolese and African jurists, is a veritable mine of in-depth analyses on international law in general, and on the DRC in particular. This publication, which was produced under the auspices of the Center of the Permanent Court of International Justice, bears witness to the richness and diversity of the Congolese doctrine of International Law.
The Congolese Society of International Law, under the leadership of Professor Bula-Bula, embodies excellence and commitment to the promotion and practice of international law in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This renowned non-profit organization has set itself the goal of promoting the Congolese doctrine of international law internationally, like major countries such as China, Canada and Japan.
In this period of historic transition towards a multipolar world, the Congolese Society of International Law is positioning itself as a key player in the international legal landscape, thus helping to strengthen the DRC’s place on the world stage.
In conclusion, the Congolese Society of International Law is more than just an institution, it is a true jewel in the service of international justice. Its commitment to the promotion of international law and the values associated with it make it a key player on the world legal scene, flying the flag for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
