The Concept of Sustainability in EU and International Law - Carlos Fernández Liesa
Carlos R. Fernández Liesa (professor of international and EU law at Carlos III University and member of the UN Human Rights Committee).
For our last seminar of the year, we will be joined by Carlos Fernández Liesa (professor of EU and international law at Carlos III University and member of the UN Human Rights Committee). He will present on "The Concept of Sustainability in EU and International Law". This event is organised jointly with the Public International Law Discussion Group.
The seminar will address the legal relevance of sustainability in international and EU law. Prof Fernández Liesa will examine the extent to which “sustainability“ is a legal concept and present its weaknesses and strengths. In particular, he will examine whether or not this notion is contributing to the evolution of EU and international law, i.e. whether there is a progressive development and codification of EU and international law in relation to sustainability.
The seminar will be held on Monday, 17 June 2024, 1pm - 2pm (UK time). For those of you in Oxford, please come to the IECL Seminar Room (Faculty of Law). As usual, a light sandwich lunch will be offered from 12.30pm. For those of you who want to join us online, please sign up to receive an invitation to the webinar. We will send you the Teams link the day before.
