Handling Allegations of Corruption in International Arbitration and judicial Dispute Resolution

The issues to be discussed are how courts of justice and arbitral tribunals handle allegations of corruption in international and domestic commercial cases. This discussion is timely as in practice more and more parties attempt to reject the jurisdiction of courts of justice and arbitral tribunals on the ground that the contract at issue is tainted by corruption. This type of allegations have an impact on the admissibility of claims as well as on the merits. They also pose important questions on international and domestic public policy and the relationship of civil or private adjudication with the criminal justice system.

In Children's Best Interests: Advancing a Fundamental Standard for the Treatment of Immigrant Children

This symposium will convene leading scholars, legal and health practitioners, policymakers, and advocates to bring to the fore of the public discussion the U.S. government’s failures to provide immigrant children with treatment consistent with standards widely accepted under domestic law and international norms. The 30th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child offers an opportune moment to reflect on a historic commitment to children’s well-being and to cogently articulate best policies and practices to protect the welfare of children in the U.S. immigration system.
