Following an invitation by the President of the Commonwealth Lawyers Association, Brian H. Speers, the Member of Parliament for Madina, Francis-Xavier Sosu, will from 5th-9th March 2023, participate in the 23rd Commonwealth Law Conference on the theme “Commonwealth Lawyers – common challenges in uncommon times” at Goa, India.
As part of activities for the conference, the Madina lawmaker is expected to present a paper on “Abolishing the death penalty in the Commonwealth – How successful have we been?”
