(Go On! is an occasional item on symposia and other events of interest)
We at IntLawGrrls are delighted to announce Women and International Criminal Law, a daylong event we've organized for Friday, October 29, 2010, just days before the 10th anniversary of the milestone U.N. Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) on Women and peace and security.
Featured will be a roundtable discussion of papers to be published in a 2011 special edition of the International Criminal Law Review, to be edited by IntLawGrrls Jaya Ramji-Nogales, Beth Van Schaack, and yours truly, Diane Marie Amann.
We've dedicated to the Honorable Patricia M. Wald, the IntLawGrrls guest/alumna pictured at the top of the above poster and at bottom right. Formerly a Judge on the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, she has served as an American Society of International Law Counsellor and as Co-Chair of the ASIL Task Force on U.S. Policy Toward the International Criminal Court.
Judge Wald will be among the speakers at this roundtable. Other distinguished participants, including a few chosen pursuant to our earlier call for papers, are listed in the full program, set forth below.
IntLawGrrls is honored to be hosting the event along with our generous cosponsors, the American Society of International Law; the California International Law Center at King Hall at University of California, Davis, School of Law; Santa Clara University School of Law, Santa Clara, California; and Temple University Beasley School of Law, Philadelphia.
All attendees must preregister for this event. Seating is limited, so we encourage you to register early, pursuant to registration details here. For those who can't attend, our cosponsors plan in due course to post video of the event on their websites.
