Indigenous peoples’ right to self-determination was a fundamental area of debate in the negotiations leading up to the acceptance of the Declaration, and continues to generate considerable controversy. The intellectual property rights of indigenous peoples is an evolving area of human rights requiring consideration of the ownership of knowledge, informed consent and appropriate sharing of the economic benefits deriving from the commercialisation of traditional knowledge.This event will feature speakers from Brunel, Liverpool, and Leeds Universities, from the departments of Law, Geography and CESAGen at Lancaster, and from Minority Rights Group International.

Call for Papers Deadline: From the Utopianism of Human Rights to the Primacy of the Political – Lancaster, UK
| September 30, 2008 |
Lancaster University Law School presents From the Utopianism of Human Rights to the Primacy of the Political Nov. 7-8, 2008. The call for papers deadline is Sept. 30, 2008.
Everywhere it seems that human rights are being overwhelmed by political expediency and brute power. Indeed, the efficacy of human rights, and the ability of the human rights movement and human rights law to deliver over the long-term, is being challenged. While some commentators argue that human rights are merely the pliant weapons of first world nations and neo-liberalism, others point up the ways that a noble cause is easily perverted by lofty aspiration.What is, and should be, the relationship between human rights and politics? Does international and humanitarian activism have any practical and political credibility in the twenty-first century?
This conference will bring together academics, judges, practitioners, policy makers and activists from a wide range of fields and disciplines, offering a rare opportunity to confront and reflect upon one of the most relevant and challenging concerns of our age.

The Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine (officially, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Dignity of the Human Being with regard to the Application of Biology and Medicine, 1997) stipulated the legal principles which are binding on the field of medicine and biology. Together with the European Convention on Human Rights, it is one of the leading treaty documents passed by the Council of Europe.
The Biomedicine Convention is the first international document formulating guiding principles on: equitable access to healthcare; informed consent; organ transplanting and the use of substances of human origin; medical research on human beings; the protection of the human embryo and fetus, and the use of medical information.Since 1997, the member states of the Council of Europe started the process of ratification that commits them to make their laws compatible with the principles and requirements of this document. Since the Dutch government is expected to ratify the Convention, the Erasmus University Rotterdam and the Erasmus University Medical Center organize an international conference starting at international Human Rights Day (10 December 2008).

Legal History – Exeter, UK
| July 8, 2009 | to | July 11, 2009 |
The Nineteenth British Legal History Conference — Making Legal History: Methodologies, Sources and Substance — will be held July 8-11, 2009, at the University of Exeter, UK.
This conference addresses the two components of legal history research – its methodology and its substance, and papers reflecting both facets are most welcome.The conference primarily considers the approaches, perspectives and methodologies of legal history. By drawing together the leading scholars in the field it seeks to stimulate debate, analyse and highlight the fundamental processes in the researching and writing of legal history. It will identify and explore both traditional and novel approaches to the use of diverse source materials, and discuss their nature, relative value and issues of interpretation. This is the first time the methodology of legal history has been an area of focus in an international conference, and it is hoped that through this pioneering collaborative venture a greater understanding and appreciation of the multi-dimensional qualities and diversity of our subject will be achieved. In addressing the making of legal history, the conference provides an opportunity for scholars in law, history and other disciplines to take stock of how they conceive and construct their legal history, while at the same time offering a showcase for substantive legal history research.

The Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School presents its Annual Conference, Our Fragmented Healthcare System: Causes and Solutions [program in pdf], June 13-14, 2008 (Fri. June 13, 2-6 p.m., and Sat. June 14, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.).
Why is our healthcare system so fragmented in the care it gives patients?

The conference aims to address this broad question with a highly interdisciplinary approach.
This event is open to the general public and is offered free of charge, but RSVP by June 10th is required. Please email petrie-flom [at] law.harvard.edu or call (617) 496-4662 to register.

Call for Papers Deadline: Foreign Tort Law: Beyond Europe – San Diego
| July 2, 2008 |
Call for papers: Foreign Tort Law: Beyond Europe, AALS Section on Torts and Compensation Systems, San Diego, CA, Jan. 9, 2009.
Injury, particularly human physical injury, is a universal problem. And yet, in the United States little is written about other countries’ mechanisms for awarding civil liability for injury. In recent years, with the European Group on Tort Law’s publication of its Principles of European Tort Law, more is known about liability
rules in the European Union.This panel attempts to further expand U.S. scholars’ understanding of foreign tort law. The program will address issues of accountability, deterrence and compensation for injury in other nations, particularly developing nations. The panel will address foreign approaches to civil liability in its broadest sense. Some approaches to injury response may be easily recognizable as tort law, and other approaches may differ more markedly from what might be considered tort law in the United States.
The executive committee of the Torts and Compensation Section is now accepting proposals for papers concerning foreign tort law. Special consideration will be give to the tort law of developing countries. Proposals for papers may be written by either foreign or U.S. scholars. A limited amount of funding is available for foreign scholars to travel to the United States to speak at the program. Drafts of accepted papers will be presented on January 9, 2009, at the AALS Annual Meeting in San Diego. Final versions of the papers will be published later in the year in a symposium edition of the Arizona Journal of International and Comparative Law.
PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Interested authors and speakers should submit (via email) an abstract of fewer than 300 words to bublick [at] law.arizona.edu, by July 2, 2008.Questions and requests for further information can also be directed to:
