ASIL-AU CLE INSTITUTE COURSE SERIES (2 of 3) on HUMAN RIGHTS: The UN Treaty Body Strengthening Process: Enhancing the functioning and effectiveness of the human rights mechanisms

Event Information
Monday, June 3, 2013
ASIL Headquarters, Tillar House
Washington, DC

TIME: 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. (ET) The American Society of International Law and the American University Washington College of Law's Academy on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law are pleased to present a three-part continuing legal education (CLE) series to provide a forum for the better understanding and discussion of human rights and humanitarian law theory. There are currently ten human rights treaty bodies at the United Nations Human Rights System that monitor the implementation by States of their international human rights obligations. In June 2012, the High Commissioner for Human Rights published a report on the strengthening of the treaty body system in which she described the problems faced by those organs and put forward proposals for change. Afterwards, an intergovernmental process was launched to strengthen and enhance the effective functioning of the treaty body system and the President of the General Assembly appointed the Ambassadors of Iceland and Indonesia as Co-facilitators. The speakers in this panel have both actively participated in the treaty bodies strengthening process and they will share their experiences and their insights on the future of this debate.

Global Challenges - Global Law: The Future of International Law

Event Information
Thursday, June 6, 2013, 12.00pm - Friday, June 7, 2013, 12.00pm
Swansea University, Wales UK
View Attachment
Event Link

This is a conference on Joel Trachtman’s new book, The Future of International Law: Global Government, published by Cambridge University Press this year. Many of the most significant challenges we face now and will face in the future do not respect national borders and defy solution through state law alone. International law will need to step up and address these challenges. The conference addresses the global challenges that public international law will have to deal with in the coming years. It also extends the idea of the future of international law to the problems that private international law and transnational commercial law contend with on a global scale. Coverage is partial and selective, with the aim of promoting discussion.
