ORGANISATION FOR CONFLICT MANAGEMENT AND RECONSTRUCTION
Laying the foundation for state building, repatriation and law post-conflict
About Us
The work of the Organisation for Conflict Management and Reconstruction (OCMR) includes advocating for a conflict management model with a view to: laying the foundation for the reconstruction of post-conflict societies; vocational training of refugees; repatriation of educated refugees; and the development of Public International Law, in particular, the law post-conflict.
Integral to these objectives is the strengthening of intellectual capability of refugees and internally displaced people by enhancing their quality of education, vocational training and mental health support during the process of conflict management in transitional states to enable them to foster reconciliation and participate in state building and the strengthening of civil society.
OCMR works closely with governments, inter-governmental organisations, non-governmental organisations, civil society, think tanks and development banks in its endeavour to meet these objectives.
The Director of OCMR, Rahim Dhanji, is a practising Solicitor Advocate in London and a dual qualified Advocate in Kenya having represented corporates and individuals in contentious matters in the High Court. He has higher rights of audience in the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court, a right traditionally reserved for Barristers in England and Wales. Rahim has also acquired commercial experience in Banking and Restructuring with magic circle firm Allen & Overy in London and Kaplan & Stratton in Nairobi.
He acquired his Bachelors degree in law from King’s College London and his Masters in Public International Law with Distinction from the School of Oriental and African Studies.
