CALL FOR PAPERS
The Planning Committee for the Inauguration of the Asian Society of
International Law is currently engaged in the organization of an
International Symposium on the occasion of the launch of the Asian Society
of International Law. The Society’s Inaugural Conference will be held on the
Bukit Timah Campus of its Secretariat, the Faculty of Law, National
University of Singapore (NUS), April 7-9, 2007.
The establishment of the Asian Society of International Law is an historic
occasion and the President of the International Court of Justice, H.E. Dame
Rosalyn Higgins (United Kingdom) will address the Inaugural Conference to
celebrate the occasion. The Faculty of Law of the National University of
Singapore is honoured to host the 2007 Inaugural Conference as it celebrates
50 years of legal education in Singapore.
The Symposium will be organized along the following five themes:
- International Law in Asia - Past, Present and Future (Plenary Session)
- International Commercial Arbitration (Panel Session)
- International Law of Human Rights (Panel Session)
- International Law on Peace and Security (Panel Session)
- The International Law of the Sea (Panel Session)
The Planning Committee especially welcomes the participation of young
scholars, practitioners and research students working in the field of
international law in the Inaugural Conference and the Symposium. Such
participants can be from within the region or outside the region.
Participants in the panels will be selected on the basis of the submission
of papers. These should focus on one of the topics above, preferably with a
special Asian emphasis.
In selecting the papers, the organizers will give priority to the quality of
the proposal. At the same time, due regard will be given to an appropriate
geographical distribution and gender balance. Proposals should include the
title of the proposed paper, an abstract of 250 words (in MS Word), and the
full institutional affiliation, email address, fax and phone number of the
presenter. While the deadline for all abstract proposals is 1 December 2006,
potential applicants should note that early submissions are strongly
encouraged, as participation is limited. Approved speakers will be notified
by 1 January 2007, and they should submit their final papers of between
8,000 and 10,000 words by 7 March 2007. Each speaker will be allocated 20
minutes during the conference. Participants will be responsible for their
own travel and accommodation expenses. Approved speakers will have their
meals provided for during the duration of the conference in addition to
local transportation and conference materials.
