International Criminal Law and the Values of the New World Order with James Armstead
The rule-based international order created in the wake of WW ll is now under threat as is civilization as we know it. What did we decide at Nuremberg and why is it important? Are current institutions sufficient to protect us from modern-day perils? Where do we go from here?
Join us for an in-person presentation by renown international law expert Dr. James Armstead on Thursday, Feb. 15, 3:30–5 PM, in the Don Tatzin Community Hall at the Lafayette Library and Learning Center at 3491 Mount Diablo Blvd, Lafayette.
This event is co-sponsored by OLLI @Berkeley and the Commonwealth Club World Affairs (CCWA) East Bay Chapter. Space is limited so please register early. A video recording of the event will be shared with registrants shortly afterward.
