A presentation by Jan Klabbers (University of Helsinki). This event is part of the Fundamental Rights Research Colloquium hosted by the Centre for Fundamental Rights
The accountability of international organisations, including the International Organization for Migration (IOM), rests on a number of assumptions and tropes. The topic is much discussed, but rarely are these tropes and assumption brought to the fore. In this presentation Jan Klabbers aims to dig into the thinking underlying the accountability of international organisations, while simultaneously providing an overview of the most authoritative legal accountability regime developed to date: the ILC’s Articles on the Responsibility of International Organizations.
This presentation is part of the Fundamental Rights Research Colloquium's cluster on 'Effectiveness of Human Rights'. This series of the Centre for Fundamental Rights colloquium brings together scholars across disciplines at various career stages to present important new scholarship on the effectiveness of human rights norms and institutions, examining a variety of international human rights and international criminal law norms, their public support and institutional impact across diverse sites and levels.
Jan Klabbers is professor of International Law at the University of Helsinki, and author of, amongst others, An Introduction to International Organizations Law (CUP, 4th edn. forthcoming). He is currently working on the ERC-sponsored project Intergovernmental Organizations between Mission and Market: International Institutional Law and the Private Sector (PRIVIGO, 2021-2025).
Prior registration is required. Registered attendees will receive the dial-in details as well as a draft paper, on which the presentation is based, via e-mail prior to the event.
