U.S.-ASEAN Conference on Legal Issues of Regional Importance

U.S. Embassy Singapore announces an open competition for organizations interested in submitting proposals to organize a conference that examines current legal issues of interest to the United States, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and its partners. Proposals should encourage think tanks and academia to engage in a comprehensive conversation examining and analyzing international jurisprudence and its relation to legal issues in and surrounding ASEAN. This conference will be part of a series of thematic U.S.-ASEAN conferences for think tank specialists, strategic thinkers, and academics. Conference presenters and participants should be encouraged to discuss the current legal architecture, examine any challenges or areas of debate, and make recommendations for policy makers in ASEAN and the wider multi-lateral architecture in the Asia-Pacific region.
