ANJeL will co-host a major International Conference on "Human Rights in the Asia-Pacific: Towards Institution Building" in Sydney on 27-28 November 2009 in partnership with the Sydney Centre for International Law (SCIL), the Centre for Asian and Pacific Law at the University of Sydney (CAPLUS), and the Australian Human Rights Centre at UNSW. Speakers will include former members of the International Human Rights Committee and leading international law and human rights scholars in the Asia-Pacific region. More details are available here.
Sydney Law School will host the fourth Consumer Law Roundtable on 4 December, focusing on "Consumer Law and Policy in the Asia-Pacific". A special guest will be Professor Tsuneo Matsumoto, who has been heavily involved in Japan's consumer law reform over the last decade, including the recent establishment of an independent Consumers Agency. This is an invitation-only event for consumer law academics, regulators and NGOs, but early-career researchers are especially welcome to contact Luke Nottage. A flier is available here.
