Power Rogers & Smith Ceremonial Courtroom, 10th Floor
This conference and workshop will explore current trends that use trade agreements to promote human rights and will address various areas of human rights such as labor rights, women’s rights, Internet freedom, and access to medicine. Speakers will discuss the new types of human rights commitments as they compare to prior efforts, the effectiveness of mechanisms to bind and enforce measures of protection, and the desirability of implementing such commitments for promoting human rights in other types of free trade agreements that include multiple partners, such as the one the US is currently negotiating.
Scholarly Address by Robert Howse, Lloyd C. Nelson Professor of International Law, NYU School of Law
