On December 11, 2024, UNILAK Kigali campus played host to an event organized by the Ministry of Justice, marking the launch of the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Club, a significant step in fostering a culture of peaceful conflict resolution within the university community.
The launch at UNILAK Kigali Campus follows similar initiatives held at Nyanza and Rwamagana campuses, highlighting the Ministry’s commitment to promoting Alternative Dispute Resolution as an effective mechanism for resolving disputes amicably, without resorting to litigation. These events are part of a broader campaign to raise awareness about the benefits of ADR, particularly among university students who are to become future leaders and professionals.
Speaking at the event, a representative from the Ministry of Justice appreciated UNILAK for its collaboration and enthusiasm in advancing the ADR agenda.
“The establishment of ADR Clubs across campuses is a testament to the university’s dedication to equipping students with skills that are critical not only for legal practice but also for fostering harmonious relationships in society,” the representative remarked.
The launch of the ADR Club aligns with UNILAK’s mission to produce well-rounded graduates who are equipped to address societal challenges through innovative and constructive approaches. By embracing ADR, the university is contributing to a more harmonious and collaborative community, both on and off campus.
As the ADR initiative continues to expand across UNILAK, it is expected to inspire a new generation of advocates for peaceful conflict resolution, reinforcing the Ministry of Justice’s vision for a just and cohesive society.
