The Promise and Perils of an International Law of Property — March 2015 | The Promise and Perils of an International Law of Property

The Promise and Perils of an International Law of Property — March 2015

Inspired by Prof. John Sprankling’s new book, The International Law of Property (Oxford 2014), the symposium assessed the impact of an emerging international right to property in a variety of contexts on March 6, 2015. The morning commenced with an explanation of the legal grounding for an international law of property by way of examining key treaties, practices and norms. Thereafter, panelists discussed the implications of recognizing such a law and how it might interface with, disrupt, and influence aspirations of various actors within modern society. Panels included: The Framework Shaping the Law: Whose interests are reflected in existing treaties, practices and norms?, Intellectual Property, Natural Resources and Biodiversity, and The Next Frontier: Space and Beyond.
