Event description
Parliamentarians are making decisions today that will define Australia’s compliance with international law in years ahead. From sanctions and arms exports to humanitarian aid and recognition of states, choices in this term carry real legal and political consequences.
Join leading jurists and international law experts for a concise, high-level briefing on Australia’s obligations in overseas conflicts — and the risks, responsibilities, and opportunities for parliamentary leadership.
This event is co-hosted by Law Reform and Social Justice and Amnesty International. All welcome.
