Conference: Canadian Council on International Law 2011 Annual Conference

The Canadian Council on International Law's 40th Annual Conference will be held November 3-5, 2011, in Ottawa. The theme is "Culture and Innovation in International Law." The preliminary program is here. Here's the idea:
Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to, international technological and intellectual property issues, issues surrounding cultural property, developments in cybercrime and cyberwarfare, international privacy issues and, more generally, cutting edge developments in international environmental, human rights and business and trade law. The conference hopes to explore the international law implications of important policy developments, including Wikileaks, the role of social networking technologies in international relations and political unrest and revolution, matters surrounding human smuggling and migration, and the like.
