ILSA Chapter Happenings
Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambo- dia. His presentation introduced the many atroci- ties committed in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge era and the difficulties of prosecuting crimes 30 years later. Voice of America covered this lecture.
Our group appreciates the power of collabora- tion, and as such we have co-sponsored some amazing events with other student organiza- tions including the Asian Pacific American Law Student Association, the Muslim Student Asso- ciation, and the Human Rights Forum. Several of our members attended the ILSA Conference at Fordham this Fall and were delighted to en- gage with so many other students who share the same passion and interest in international law as we do.
We also held one of the most successful and well-attended fundraisers our group has ever had: ILS Karaoke Night at the local Rutgers-Law watering hole. Dozens of students came out to support ILS and party the night away with one of Japan’s most cherished pastimes. On popu- lar demand we will be hosting one next year as well.
Since we have been blessed with such a great year, we are giving back to the community by participating in the Adopt-A-Family program this holiday season. We know that hunger is not just in developing countries, and so we are gathering donations to help make sure our adopted family has a warm, healthy, and happy holiday season.
This coming spring semester, we will be hosting numerous events in addition to our Symposium, including a career panel and a student sympo- sium where students who have worked or had life experience in areas of international law can come together and discuss their experiences and ideas. We look forward to continuing the momentum the current board has built up and are proud to be a part of the ILSA community.
CATANIA ILSA CHAPTER
University of Catania School of Law Catania, Italy
Federica Gentile, ILSA Member
A new academic year at Catania School of Law is under way and our Chapter is back at work with renewed enthusiasm, confident in the brilliant results achieved in the last year, which ended in the XVI National Congress of the Italian Soci- ety of International Law – ISIL (Società Italiana di Diritto Internazionale -SIDI,
www.sidi-isil.org). The SIDI annual conference on “Human Rights Protection and International Law”, took place in Catania on 23-24 June 2011, was organized by the SIDI, in cooperation with the International Law Chair and SIDI National Deputy Chairman, Prof. Rosario Sapienza, and was supported by the Catania ILSA Chapter. A prestigious event in the international panorama involving Italian and European celebrities in the field of international law.
Last year program saw three parallel sessions on “International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights”, “Private International Law” and “In- ternational Economic Law and Human Rights”, and was attended by more than three hundred international lawyers and some two hundred students. Now, new projects are coming with a schedule of new activities and commitments!
The thematic course Selected Topics In Public In- ternational Law (STIPIL) will deal with the issue “Conflicting Approaches to International Law: A Political and Cultural Perspective” and the Moot- ing Course will start in its second edition, offer- ing attendees the chance to join our annual local moot court organized in cooperation with Diplo- matici Model United Nations (DiMUN) Catania and the CRIO (Centre of Research on Interna- tional Organizations) Workshop.
