Panel Discussion: Guns Without Borders

Jacob Burns Moot Courtroom. Guns Without Borders: Illicit Arms Trafficking, State Responsibility, and the Inter-American Human Rights System The event will focus on the Inter-American Court of Human Rights’ recent Advisory Opinion OC-30/25, an important development in the Inter-American human rights system addressing the relationship between firearms, State obligations, and the protection of human rights. Rather than presenting the issue as a formal debate or from a single viewpoint, the discussion will examine the legal questions, practical tensions, and competing considerations raised by OC-30/25 and by efforts to address gun violence that crosses national borders. The event will be livestreamed. Please register to receive a link.
