On May 1st, 2015, the Washington International Law Journal will present its symposium, The Post-2015 Development Agenda: From the Millennium Development Goals to the Sustainable Development Goals, at the University of Washington School of Law.
The symposium will bring together high-level officials, academics, and experts to discuss to debate the proposed SDGs and explore the prospects for a truly transformative post-2015 development agenda.
Issues being debated include:
- How can governments set measurable goals related to environmental protection and global health?
- What structures must be set in place to ensure government accountability for illicit financial flows and corruption? ; and
- To what extent are human rights and the rule of law linked to human development, and how does one measure whether a country adequately protects and promotes these rights?
