SEMINARS ON INTERNATIONAL LAW TO BE HELD IN ARGENTINA
November 13, 2006
Attorneys and high-level legal experts from around the hemisphere will meet November 14-17 in Buenos Aires for a series of seminars on international law, sponsored by the Organization of American States (OAS), through its Department of International Law; Argentina’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship; and Austral University.
The annual seminars, which bring together academic experts in international law from different universities in the Americas, offer an in-depth analysis of current legal issues. Participants also exchange ideas and proposals for improving the teaching of public and private international law.
Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana and the Director of the OAS Department of International Law, Jean-Michel Arrighí, will open the event, the eighth in the series and the second to be held in Argentina.
During their four days of work in Buenos Aires, the jurists will take under consideration such topics as investments and international arbitration; child abduction in light of the current law; the inter-American human rights system; humanitarian intervention; new developments in the law of the sea; the rights to integration; and the teaching of public and private international law.
In addition to strengthening the ties between the hemisphere’s academic institutions, the seminars promote the study of the inter-American system and its systematic incorporation into international law programs in law schools throughout the region.
The seminars are being held in compliance with the “Declaration of Panama on the Inter-American Contribution to the Development and Codification of International Law,” adopted in Panama City by the OAS General Assembly in 1996. Previous such seminars on international law have taken place in Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Chile and Canada.
