By Arthur Edgar E. Smith
Senior Lecturer of English, Fourah Bay College

I was amongst 200 delegates from over 70 countries participating in the 73rd International PEN Congress held in the prestigious Meridian Hotel in the historic city of Dakar under the theme ‘The Word, The World and Human Values’. The Congress was opened officially by Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade in a very colourful occasion where he announced dramatic increases in government funding for the arts, providing for a new publishing house, literary prizes amongst many others. It closed on July 11th calling for ending insult and defamatory laws worldwide and committing itself to supporting and protecting languages that are under threat worldwide. International PEN celebrated and applauded the wealth and diversity of its’ members’ work particularly so, that of African PEN members and writers. But it deplored the prevalence of insult and defamation laws across Africa and resolved to continue protecting and defending the freedom to write in all corners of the world.]]></description>
