A hearing on confirmation of Harold Hongju Koh to be Legal Adviser to the Department of State is set for today.The hearing before the Committee on Foreign Relations of the U.S. Senate will begin at 2:15 p.m. Eastern time at 419 Dirksen Senate Building, Washington, D.C. Try http://foreign.senate.gov/ for webcast. (Although C-SPAN appeared ready to broadcast the hearings as recently as 12:02 today, it's apparently decided instead to devote coverage to swine flu -- about which see above.)
Many of us have posted on President Barack Obama's nomination of Koh (right), our intlaw colleague, Dean of Yale Law School, and former Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights. No doubt more posts to come as his confirmation proceeds.
