Is the International Legal System Broken?

It is more than 75 years since the United Nations was established to deal with international economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian challenges. Yet war, climate change, human rights abuses and a global pandemic continue to threaten people worldwide. Has the International Legal System failed to deliver? And if so, what can be done about it? Join us for a live panel discussion with leading experts on environmental and climate change law, intellectual property, refugee protection and human rights. Facilitated by Dr Martin Clark, UTAS Law.

Those attending in person are invited to stay for refreshments after the event.
