A webinar presented by the IBA Rule of Law Forum and supported by the IBA Judges Forum, the IBA Latin American Regional Forum, the IBA Litigation Committee and the IBA North American Regional Forum

This series will examine the impact of coups and other constitutional crises on the rule of law through three recent case studies: Brazil, South Korea and the United States.

Topics include:

  • Anti-constitutional measures
  • Remedies taken through legislature/courts and public recourse
  • Accountability after the fact and long-term impact forecasts

Legal scholars and practitioners around the world are under attack and strategising the restoration of the rule of law, both domestically and internationally. Through the case studies presented, the series seeks to illuminate ‘what works’ in different societies battling authoritarian measures and distil lessons learned.

This session will focus on South Korea.
