ILSA and CICL Host Speaker

The International Law Students' Association and the Center for International and Comparative Law present Professor Stephen McCaffrey for his talk, "Current Issues in International Water Law."

Professor McCaffrey is one of the world’s foremost authorities on international water law. He was a member of the United Nations International Law Commission from 1982-91 and chaired that prestigious organization’s 1987-88 session, only the third American to do so. He served as special rapporteur for the commission’s draft articles on the law of the non-navigational uses of international watercourses, which formed the basis of the 1997 U.N. Convention on the subject. Professor McCaffrey was Counselor on International Law in the State Department in 1984-85 and represents countries in disputes before the International Court of Justice and other fora. He also advises the Palestinians in connection with the Permanent Status talks with Israel and is Legal Adviser to the Nile River Basin Negotiation Committee. Professor McCaffey has taught at McGeorge, University of the Pacific, since 1977.

He will discuss both his personal experiences and international environmental law in general. Please join us in welcoming him. Lunch will be provided.

Date/Time/Location: Monday, April 21 @ Noon, Courtroom
