DESCRIPTION:The McGill Law Journal (MLJ) invites you a symposium titled ‘Fi
 duciaries of Humanity and International Law.’ Using the theory of internat
 ional law from Fiduciaries of Humanity as a touchstone or springboard\, le
 ading scholars on international law will engage critically the most signif
 icant issues of international law today.  \n\nDescription\n\nPublic intern
 ational law has embarked on a new chapter. Over the past century\, the cla
 ssical model of international law\, which emphasized state autonomy and in
 terstate relations\, has gradually ceded ground to a new model. Under the 
 new model\, a state’s sovereign authority arises from the state’s responsi
 bility to respect\, protect\, and fulfill human rights for its people. In 
 Fiduciaries of Humanity: How International Law Constitutes Authority\, Eva
 n J. Criddle and Evan Fox-Decent argue that these developments mark a turn
 ing point in the international community’s conception of public authority.
  Under international law today\, states serve as fiduciaries of humanity\,
  and their authority to govern and represent their people is dependent on 
 their satisfaction of numerous duties\, the most general of which is to es
 tablish a regime of secure and equal freedom on behalf of the people subje
 ct to their power. International institutions also serve as fiduciaries of
  humanity and are subject to similar fiduciary obligations. The authors ap
 ply the fiduciary model to a variety of current topics and controversies\,
  including human rights\, emergencies\, the treatment of detainees in coun
 terterrorism operations\, humanitarian intervention\, and the protection o
 f refugees fleeing persecution.\n\nOrganized by the McGill Law Journal\, i
 n collaboration with the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism\, and
  with financial support from the Social Science and Humanities Research Co
 uncil.\n\nA request has been made for accreditation for 3 hours and 45 min
 utes of continuing legal education for jurists by a recognized provider.\n
