(Go on is an occasional item on symposia of interest) On May 6th this year the Department of International Relations at the London School of Economics will hold a day-long symposium entitled 'Detention and Rendition in the "War on Terror"'.Full details of the symposium are available here, and the day will feature sessions on the range of human rights implicated in detention and rendition, international relations perspectives on detention and rendition, possibilities for reform of current policies and practices, and perspectives on creating effective links between academia and action/activism in this area.
The speakers are drawn from the academy (law and international relations), practice, and policy/NGO and I am very pleased to be included among them.
Attendance at the symposium is free and open to all. The only requirement is to pre-register with the organiser, Elizabeth Stubbins Bates, at e.t.stubbins-bates[at]lse.ac.uk before the 30th of April.
