21st Singapore Law Review Lecture 2007 -- “From Constructive Engagement to Collective Revulsion: the Myanmar Precedent of 2007”
Just got to know about this event from The Ridge Online and thought I will put it up in case you all are interested in attending it...
21st Singapore Law Review Lecture 2007 -- “From Constructive Engagement to Collective Revulsion: the Myanmar Precedent of 2007”
A Lecture and Panel Discussion by Professor Lim Chin Leng
Friday, 9 November 2007, 6.30pm
at the Multi-Purpose Auditorium (3rd Floor) of the NUS Law Faculty at the Bukit Timah Campus
Followed by refreshments thereafter
Introduction about the event:
The world’s attention was captured suddenly in September as monks, not one to be associated with demonstrations, took to the streets of Yangon in Myanmar to protest against a military junta which has ruled the country with an iron fist. As the military government threatened violence and arrested and is continuing to arrest activists in the aftermath of the protests, the international community has been united in its condemnation of the acts of the Myanmar government. The situation is currently unfolding, with much uncertainty over whether anything can be done for the people of Myanmar.
The events of the “Saffron Revolution” have the eerie echo of similar protests almost twenty years ago in Myanmar in 1988. However, what has changed today is that Myanmar is now a member of ASEAN. In a departure from its usual stance of non-interference in member nation’s domestic affairs, ASEAN has released its most strongly-worded statement against Myanmar. What has caused this change in the stance of ASEAN? What can ASEAN do to bring about a peaceful resolution to the unfolding crises?
The 21st Singapore Law Review Lecture continues its tradition of bringing current legal issues of interest to the fore for students. This year, Prof Lim Chin Leng from the Hong Kong University, will give his take on the Myanmar issue and what implications it has in International Law, especially with respect to ASEAN. Continuing on the success of the last lecture, Prof Lim will also join a panel discussion which will take questions from the floor.
If you all are interested to attend, please register by 8/11/2007 at here.
