ILSA Chapter Happenings
In February thanks to our relationship with the ITCILO – UNICRI – UNSSC campus, situated in Turin, we have organized a study visit in Gene- va, in particular to some of the most important structures, international organizations and agen- cies of the UN system (Palais des Nations, WTO, UNHCR, ILO). The study visit is one of the most important activities we offer to our members; in past years we’ve visited New York, Paris and oth- er relevant seats of international organizations.
Upon return, a study group will begin to work on an issue yet to be decided; the group consists of students who suggest and research a particularly relevant matter in international law and interna- tional relations. The study will result in a publica- tion that will be released in May.
M.S.O.I. is also engaged in the organization of conferences and seminars ; we had a conference in October entitled “Integration in the European Union: a challenge for diplomacy”, and we will hold another one in Spring. Besides the confer- ences, usually the chapter also suggests round tables and discussions between students, pro- fessors and experts on very important issues for international law and relations.
One of our aims for the next semester is to re- establish our online journal, in order to give all students interested in international law and di- plomacy the possibility to comment and discuss the main events happening all around the world.
We also promote, together with the Faculty of Law, the participation in the Philip C. Jessup In- ternational Law Moot Court Competition and the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitra- tion Moot Court. We furnish support to students interested in becoming competitors for these competition and also support them during the preparation for the national and international rounds. If you would like to know more about our chapter or to collaborate with us, do not hesitate to contact us at

UNIV. OF OTTAWA ILSA CHAPTER
University of Ottawa, Faculty of Law Ottawa, Ontario Canada
Meghan Cowan, President & Rebecca Robb, Vice President
The University of Ottawa International Law Stu- dents Association student chapter had a busy term! The club has expanded significantly this year with a keen and creative team of first year student representatives. The first general meet- ing was held in early October, where the chapter ratified a new constitution and welcomed new members. An informal ‘meet and greet’ event was hosted to reach out to the broader member- ship basis in the University of Ottawa law stu- dent body.
In November, the club hosted a pub night in conjunction with the Canadian Council on In- ternational Law’s annual conference held at the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada. The pub night was a great suc- cess, welcoming conference attendees, profes- sors, and students from across Canada!
The University of Ottawa’s ILSA chapter is now planning its winter term events. Scheduled in February, 2012 is the club’s annual Career Panel followed by a meet and greet with the profes- sionals that come and speak at the event. We will also be partnering with the University of Ottawa student chapter of CLAIHR (Canadian Lawyers for Human Rights) to host the Global Generations Conference on the subject of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P). The conference will invite students to submit papers related to the conference theme.
This brief highlight of past and upcoming events reflects the dynamism of this group which is ea- ger to engage with the field of international law!
