IBA
Rule of Law Symposium and parallel forum
13 Oct
07
The International Bar Association (IBA) is holding its
2007 Annual Conference in Singapore from 14-19 Oct 07. Among some
of the topics that will be discussed is the
rule of law.
A
parallel forum originally planned to be held on the evening of 17
Oct 07 (Wed) to highlight the lack of the rule of law in
Singapore has been canceled.
Instead,
we encourage Singaporeans
to attend the IBA's Rule of Law Symposium on 19 Oct 07,
(Fri). The Symposium will take place at the Suntec City and will
last through the entire day. It will include plenary sessions as
well as break-out discussions to help participants "formulate
concrete plans for action" to strengthen the rule of
law.
In addition, the Symposium's interactive format will
also highlight the importance of the rule of law to
business.
Speakers representing the Singapore Government
are Mr S Jayakumar, DPM and Minister for Law, and Mr Tommy Koh,
Ambassador-at-Large. They are expected to talk about the
"Singapore experience" and the "Asian perspective"
of the rule of law.
Registration is open to the
Singaporean public. A fee of £60 (approximately $180),
which will include lunch and coffee breaks, is required. To
register, please click here.
