On panel 2, Celmira Alfredo Barros Matana addressed the topic “The social inclusion of persons with disabilities through the human right to work”.
On panel 3, Hermínio Carlos Silva Rodrigues dealt with the topic “Republican ethics as the ethos of constitutional justice in Angola”.
In turn, on panel 4, Adlezio Agostinho presented the topic “Ethics and natural law as a source of legitimacy of international law: an analysis of the new global crisis”.

Founded with the purpose of establishing a permanent forum for dialogue between the Lusophone legal communities of Angola, Brazil, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe, Timor-Leste and Macau, REDIL has been organising, on a regular basis, the Congresso Internacional de Direito na Lusofonia, which has established itself as the main scientific gathering of the Lusophone legal community.
Each edition of the Congress is organised in partnership with a host institution from one of the network's member countries, contributing to the decentralisation of the debate and to the strengthening of bilateral and multilateral relations between Lusophone legal systems.
