Earlier this month, Professor Michael Newton joined the American Society of International Law at their 119th Annual Meeting, speaking on the panel entitled Acting Against Authoritarians: Legitimate Roles for Shared Norms and Institutions.
The theme of this year’s Annual Meeting was “Traditions and Transitions in International Law.” International lawyers, policymakers, and experts from other fields convened to reflect on the implications of traditions and transitions in international law. Newton’s panel was a key component of the meeting’s fifth track, dubbed “Security, Foreign Relations, and Use of Force.”
Michael Newton is an expert on terrorism, accountability, transnational justice, and conduct of hostilities issues. He has served in key advisory roles in the federal government, practiced in the International Criminal Court, and coordinated U.S. support to accountability mechanisms worldwide. Newton directs the International Legal Studies Program and the International Law Practice Lab at Vanderbilt Law School.
