Touching on the importance and the significance of April 17, Professor Ouedraogo emphasized that;
Quebec has no values other than Canadian ones:
– The democratic exercise of power,
– Respect for human rights and rule of law,
– The accommodation of differences.
The values that underlie our traditions, either political and/or philosophical, emphasis that everyone is free to express their beliefs and opinions dictated by its conscience. And, such manifestations should not injure their rights to manifest beliefs and personal opinions.

Ses recherches portent notamment sur les aspects historiques et philosophiques du droit international, la théorie du droit, la guerre et ses alternatives, les droits humains, le règlement pacifique des différends, l’Afrique.
Ses recherches actuelles portent sur la gouvernance démocratique en Afrique. Cette recherche vise à déconstruire l’idée selon laquelle le concept d’Etat, forgé par l’ordre westphalien et largement consacré par la modernité en Occident, n’est pas compatible avec une réalité africaine pluri-éthniques. L’approche est à la fois socio-anthropologique et épistémologique.
