About

Join foreign law specialist Louis Gilbert for a Foreign and Comparative International Law webinar on the historical legal analysis of citizenship in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

In this presentation, Gilbert will trace the legal construction of Congolese nationality from the colonial period to the present, with particular attention to the North Kivu region, and examine how successive governments have used citizenship law to regulate territory, population and political authority. He will explore how nationality law continues to function as a structural driver of conflict in eastern Congo and how citizenship is not merely a status but a legal instrument with far-reaching security implications.
