Karen
Alter, a professor of law and political science at Northwestern University,
speaks May 11th at 10:30 a.m. at the Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago, 7574 North Lincoln
Avenue in Skokie. Her topic is, "What can International Courts do about Territorial
Disputes?" Alter will discuss her award-winning book, "The New
Terrain of International Law." She will explain what "new style"
international courts have done and where they face limits in their reach and
ability to enforce rulings. She will draw on specific examples of what the law
says, and what it can or cannot do about ongoing disputes in Ukraine, the South
China seas, and elsewhere.
