ASIL International Organizations Interest Group Works-in-Progress Workshop

The International Organizations Interest Group of the American Society of International Law will host a works-in-progress workshop on October 28, 2011, at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, Medford, MA (near Boston). Those interested in participating should register here. Here's the idea:

The International Organizations Interest Group of the American Society of International Law will hold a works-in-progress workshop on October 28, 2011, at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, Medford, MA (near Boston). The workshop will begin at 9am and end by 4:30pm.

The workshop's format will be as follows. Each paper will be introduced by a commentator for about ten minutes. The author will have the opportunity to respond, if he or she wishes to do so. The floor will then be opened for comments, reactions, and discussion from the group as a whole. The workshop is conducted on the assumption that everyone has read all of the papers in advance. One need not present a paper or comment on a paper to participate.

The workshop is free for ASIL members and $20 for non-members. Participants must register here. Lunch will be provided. Papers will be distributed the week of October 17.

The papers that will be presented include:

• Kristen Boon (Seton Hall Univ. – Law): “The High Seas Fisheries: A Case Study in Scarcity and Redistribution in International Law”
• Antonia Chayes (Tufts Univ. – Fletcher School): “On Chapter VII 1/2 of the UN Charter”
• Kristina Daugirdas (Univ. of Michigan – Law): “A Multilateral Substitute for Foreign Aid Legislation?”
• David Gartner (Arizona State Univ. – Law): “The World Bank, the IMF, and Transparency in the 21st Century”
• Kenneth Rodman (Colby College – Government): “Manipulated Commitments: The International Criminal Court in Uganda”
• Vijayashri Sripati (Postdoctoral fellow, Univ. of Toronto – Political Science and Adjunct Professor, Osgoode Hall): “United Nations Constitutional Assistance [UNCA]: New Additions to the ‘Standard of Civilization’?”

We look forward to seeing you at Fletcher.
