Organizing meeting for the Peace & Planet mobilization in New
York City, April 26, 2015.
Valerie Epps, Professor of Law at Suffolk University, will
present a talk on "Assessing the Legality of Nuclear
Weapons".
New Location - Suffolk University Law School, 120 Tremont St, Faculty
Dining Room, 4th Floor
Prof. Epps is the author of the 4 star textbook, International
Law, now in its fourth edition. She teaches International Law and the Laws
of War. Her talk will touch on the history of weapons control, laws that govern
weapons in general, the various bodies of law that apply to nuclear weaopns, and
the case that was filed in the International Court of Justice in 2014 by the
Marshall Islands against the nuclear weapon states. A relevant reading is the
1996 International Court of Justice's (ICJ's) Advisory Opinion on the "Legality of
the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons". Of several dissenting opinions one
that Prof. Epps recommends is that by
Judge Weeramantry.
After hearing and discussing Prof. Epps' remarks we will
make plans to organize Massachusetts residents to participate in the Peace
& Planet Mobilization for a Nuclear-Free, Just, and Sustainable World.
Please look over our draft Massachusetts Peace & Planet Campaign
Plan.
