Join the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute for an online talk with William E. Butler on his latest book covering international law's role in the Russian legal system.

Focusing on international law as an integral part of the Russian legal system and revisions introduced by amendments to the 1993 Russian Constitution in July 2020, "International Law in the Russian Legal System" (Oxford University Press, 2020) considers what role treaties and the generally-recognized principles and norms of international law play under Russian law. Special attention will be devoted to investment protection treaties and the changing relationship between the Russian Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights.

RSVP is requested; information can be found at this link.

Speaker:

William E. Butler, John Edward Fowler Distinguished Professor of Law, Dickinson Law, Penn State University
