On 25 September 2020, our Faculty Director Benedict Kingsbury participated in a virtual conference, hosted by Dr. Donna Lyons (Trinity College Dublin School of Law). During this program, leading experts discussed a range of pressing issues relating to Covid-19 and global governance, including: human rights and health, the right to liberty and prisoners during the pandemic, social movements and Covid-19, challenges facing the EU, and derogations from international human rights treaties in time of emergency. This conference was a sequel to a conference which took place on 15 July 2020 on the same topic.

Trinity Law School has made a link available for recordings of the conference.
