Foley Hoag attorneys Christina Hioureas and Professor Pierre d'Argent will be speaking at the conference “War & Peace and International Arbitration: The Prospect of Accountability for Violent Conflicts”, organized by Bocconi University in Milan, Italy.
- On May 8th, Christina Hioureas will be speaking on a panel titled The Search for Justice After Conflict through Claims Commissions & Tribunals and Arbitration, in which she will engage in a critical examination of historical, contemporary, and anticipated examples of post-conflict commissions, courts and tribunals, highlighting how these frameworks operate within the broader landscape of transitional justice.
- On May 9th, Professor d'Argent will be speaking on a panel titled Echoes of Conflict: Legal Mechanisms for Restoring Stolen Cultural Property. A network of international conventions, national restitution laws, and diplomatic negotiations shape the legal frameworks for restitution of stolen art and artifacts. Enforcing claims through these legal frameworks, meanwhile, highlights the evolving role of international courts, arbitral tribunals, and other dispute mechanisms to restore stolen heritage. This panel will focus on the progress that has been made and the challenges that remain at this intersection of cultural identity, law, history, and global justice.
Together with other leading experts in the field, on May 6th, Hioureas will also be conducting an
Interactive Skills Workshop for State Representatives -from Europe, Africa, and Latin America- in International Dispute Resolution, also at Bocconi University.
Hioureas will also be speaking at a side event organized by The Italian below40 Arbitration Association on
