Due to globalization, international society is rapidly shrinking with the line between international law and national law becoming increasingly blurred.  Given the increasing importance of international law and how close it has become to our day to day lives, we are organizing a series of workshops for local attorneys, policy makers, and civil society groups.

Listen to the workshop proceedings online.
