Abstract

Distinguished guests, It is with great pleasure and honor that I stand before you today as we gather for the opening of the International Scientific Conference of the Law Faculty.Our conference is titled "Towards a Better Future:Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions." This topic aligns perfectly with the global pursuit of sustainable development and underscores the crucial role of law in shaping a brighter future for all. Sustainable Development Goal 16, SDG16, encompasses the principles of peace, justice, and establishing strong institutions. These pillars are essential for the advancement of societies and the well-being of individuals worldwide. As we gather here today, we recognize the pressing need to address the challenges that hinder the realization of these fundamental values.As we know, peace forms the bedrock upon which prosperous societies are built. It is the absence of conflict, the presence of harmony, and the pursuit of understanding among nations, communities, and individuals. Achieving lasting peace requires our collective efforts in resolving conflicts, promoting dialogue, and fostering a culture of tolerance and respect for diversity. Through our discussions and research during this conference, we aim to explore innovative legal approaches and strategies that can contribute to sustainable peace-building efforts. Justice, too, is an indispensable component of a better future. It ensures individuals' fair and equitable treatment, upholds the rule of law, and safeguards human rights. Yet, justice is often elusive for many, particularly the marginalized and vulnerable. Our duty as legal scholars and practitioners is to address these disparities, examine the existing legal frameworks, and propose reforms that promote equal access to justice for all. Doing so can pave the way towards a more inclusive and just society.
