The Lex Libertas Future of Nations Conference (FNC) is an international policy and ideas conference focused on the future of political order in a changing world, with particular emphasis on self-governance, autonomy, decentralisation, and the role of nations and communities.

Hosted by Lex Libertas, a South Africa–based think tank and advocacy group with growing international reach, the conference brings together policymakers, intellectuals, political leaders, entrepreneurs, and civil society actors from different regions to explore practical and principled alternatives to the destructive policy ideas that sprout from governance models divorced from social, cultural, and economic realities.

The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has announced that two Afrikaner leaders from South Africa will serve as toastmasters at its 113th Annual Gala, scheduled for 13 December this year in New York City. Dr. Ernst Roets, Executive Director of Lex Libertas, and Joost Strydom, Chief Executive Officer of the Orania Movement, have accepted the invitation.

The Lex Libertas Club will serve as a forum through which contributors to Lex Libertas can become more actively involved in the organisation’s work — particularly in advancing the goal of establishing a viable political order in South Africa.

At this event, we will introduce the Pretoria structure of the Club and share plans for additional chapters that will be launched in the near future.
