Tomorrow, Thursday, Nov. 15: The Rule of Law at Home and Abroad
Event Notice
"Rule of Law at Home and Abroad – A Critical Perspective"
A Panel Discussion
12 – 2 pm
Wasserstein 3019
Promoting the rule of law at the national and international levels is at the heart of the United Nations' mission. It is also a principle that is embedded throughout the Charter of the United Nations and most constitutions of national states. But there is much friction among Member States as to the definition of the rule of law, with assertions of hidden agendas. In addition, there is mounting skepticism among donors and international organizations regarding rule of law promotion.
Please join us for an inter-active discussion on these issues with panelists: Gerald L. Neuman, J. Sinclair Armstrong Professor of International, Foreign, and Comparative Law at Harvard; Ivan Šimonovi?, United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights; and Robert O. Varenik, Director of Programs, Open Society Justice Initiative.
The moderator will be David Marshall, LL.M '02, Visiting Fellow, Harvard Human Rights Program, UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
