Poverty and the International Economic Legal System – Basel, Switzerland

Universitat Basel and the Society of International Economic Law will be hosting the conference, Poverty and the International Economic Legal System: Duties to the WorldÂ’s Poor, on October 20-22, 2011 in Basel, Switzerland. This conference will particularly concern the duties to address poverty, from multiple international economic law viewpoints. Global experts in each of these fields will discuss the impacts such rules have, or could have, on efforts to reduce poverty. They will be looking for solutions to questions about whether the rules regulating international economic activities are sufficient to ensure that poverty reduction is an actual result, and suggesting changes where necessary.
