During the course of her doctorate studies Ms Wane had been an intern within the Secretary of the Codex Alimentarius Commission and the Food Safety Department of the World Health Organization where she had been a consultant entrusted the task to gather and monitor data related to the development countries progresses in terms of food safety systems enhancement.

She had previously obtained a postgraduate diploma in European, French, Swiss and comparative Law from the University of Savoie (France) and the University of Lausane (Switzerland) along with a master degree in Business Law from the university of Saint Louis (Senegal). While Ms Wane was primarily committed in private law studies, she had been in her early university education steadily focusing on public international law after she discovered the vivacity of the public international law, discipline which is subject to rapid changes, the tremendous topics it addresses and the contribution of the dispute settlement bodies to this evolution. Moreover, her inclination on public international law had been increased during the course of her doctoral researches on the international legal order and through the development topics she was dealing with during the course of her internships.
