Because international law itself is a living and ever-changing phenomenon, international legal education, while starting in law schools, must continue in accessible form in many settings around the globe. After a key-note address by President Higgins, drawing on her rich experience as a leading scholar, teacher, advocate and international judge, there will be a presentation of the United Nations Audiovisual Library of International Law, the first virtual international law training and research center, highlighting its unique potential for contributing to international legal education.Introduction: Mahnoush H.
