I provide legal advice and officiate as tribunal secretary on public international law and commercial arbitrations matters. I notably work as an assistant to Prof. Makane Moïse Mbengue (U. of Geneva). In this capacity, I have advised (inter alia):

  • A Latin American State on the international law remedies available with respect to the arrest of one of its Ambassadors and Special Envoy in an African State;
  • An Arbitration Panel (as Secretary) in a safeguards dispute under a Regional Trade Agreement (Panel Report);
  • The African Union in the context of two advisory proceedings before the ICJ (Palestine, and Climate change); and
  • An African Regional Economic Organisation on investment facilitation and promotion.
