Panel Discussion on ‘Can We Reimagine International Institutions? A Third World Perspective’ | July 25, 2020
We are pleased to invite you for an interesting panel discussion on a very pressing and timely theme: ‘Can We Reimagine International Institutions? A Third World Perspective’ taking place on July 25, 2020 from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM (access link: https://bit.ly/2ZIHCBJ).
This panel discussion is the second event of the International Law, Political Economy and Covid-19 Series being organized by the Centre for International Legal Studies, JGLS.
The basic premise of this event is that though there has been a pronounced use of the rhetoric of global solidarity and cooperation, the Covid-19 pandemic has exposed already existing fault-lines and structural divides within the mainstream model of international governance. This is especially important in context of access to Covid-19 health technologies like vaccines, diagnostics and therapeutics. With limited health care and manufacturing capacity as exists in many parts of the Global South, the western-based incentive research and development models are inadequate and only a partial solution. Hence, there is a definite need to think about reimagining international institutions, that not only are responsive to the blind-spots of the current framework but also are based on a wider and more inclusive set of concerns.
On this backdrop, the three speakers would discuss issues and questions such as:
Are interests of Global South represented adequately in the responses to Covid-19?
How can there be a better recognition of indigenous and low-cost innovation systems in these responses?
Who Should Attend?
Law students, legal professionals, and other professionals having a keen interest in international law and intellectual property rights.
