In 1997, the General Assembly, meeting in Lima, Peru,
approved the Inter-American Program for the Development of
International Law. Its implementation requires, among other
actions, the following [AG/RES. 1471 (XXVII-O/97)]:
“Teaching of Inter-American
International Law
h. To hold meetings of professors
of public and private international law from the member
states to share ideas and proposals for action. At these
meetings, consideration could be given to preparing a
handbook or other teaching materials, organizing workshops
or refresher courses, and developing future links with
appropriate academic institutions with a view to achieving
the systematic incorporation of inter-American law into the
curricula of the various faculties of law.
i. To hold periodic Workshops on
International Law with the participation of high-level
jurists and specialists in international law and of legal
advisers from the foreign ministries of member states in
order to further the study and development of legal issues
in the inter-American system.”
The Workshops of International Law allow prominent
professors of Private and Public International Law from
prestigious universities throughout the Americas to discuss
and analyze different aspects relating to the Inter-American
System as well as the teaching of Public and Private
International Law. Being all of the professor active in
academia, the debates during the event may transcend to
those professor who could not participate, and more
importantly to the new generation of professionals.
Some of the issues considered during the Workshops are: the
analysis of contemporary juridical themes; the exchange of
ideas and proposals of actions to ameliorate the teaching of
international law; the strengthening of the relations
between academic institutions within the continent; and, the
promotion of the study of the Inter-American System and its
integration within the program of international law at
schools of law of the hemisphere.
The Workshops are organized by the
Secretariat for Legal Affairs (SLA) with the support
of a teaching institution of the member states as
established by the Resolutions on the Development of
International Law.
Since 1999 to the present, there have been seven Workshops
of International Law: |
