Professor Ronnie R. Gipson Jr. serves as panelist at ABA International Law Section session

CARLISLE, PA—Professor Ronnie R. Gipson Jr. was recently a panelist during the American Bar Association International Law Section’s session titled “What’s Happening in Myanmar? The Continued Decline of Rights and the Rule of Law.” The session focused on how the civil war in Myanmar affects the rule of law, human rights issues, and what the people of Myanmar hope the international community can do to bring peace, security, and justice to their country. The session topic connects with Gipson’s recently published articles and ongoing research on global trade and human rights throughout Asia.

The session was moderated by Denakpon Tchobo, president of Global Justice Intelligence Eyes. The panel also featured Su Yin Htun, Ph.D., a refugee of the Myanmar civil war and a current instructor in the Human Rights Program at the University of Utah, and Thembile Segoete, who is the senior legal officer at the United Nations.
