The role of international economic law in poverty eradication efforts
Thursday 8 October (0930 - 1045)
Committee(s)
Poverty and Social Development Committee
(Lead)
Description
The panel will bring together scholars and practitioners in trade, investment, finance and intellectual property to examine how international economic law (IEL) can advance — or inadvertently hinder — poverty eradication. Moving beyond growth averages, speakers will focus on concrete legal levers that shape fiscal space, policy autonomy and distributional outcomes in low- and middle-income countries.
