Event Information
Parliamentarians are making decisions today that will define Australia’s compliance with international law in years ahead. From sanctions and arms exports to humanitarian aid and recognition of states, choices in this term carry real legal and political consequences. Join leading jurists and international law experts for a concise, high-level briefing on Australia’s obligations in overseas conflicts — and the risks, responsibilities, and opportunities for parliamentary leadership.
We will hear from:

He served as Australian Human Rights Commissioner (1995-2000), Australian Law Reform Commissioner (1992-1995) and was the founding Director of the Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (1987-1992). Internationally, he was a member of the UN Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar (2017-2019) and is currently a Commissioner on the UN Inquiry into the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel.

Advice
The following format can used to build up a point towards a Campus Knowing KNOT:
- at least three hours spent attending public lectures, faculty talks, special events or other activity that involves academics or other recognised thought leaders on ANU campus
- the time may be accumulated at one event, or spread over several events, during the time you are enrolled in the course
- the topic must relate to SoCIETIE values
Note that a Campus Knowing KNOT may be made up of multiple events, with an expectation that attendance totals approximately three hours per point. A maximum of 2 points on a Campus Knowing KNOT can be claimed per semester.
Completion
The default completion task for a Campus Knowing KNOT is a 200-word reflection. As a starting point, we encourage you to base the reflection on "a question that you asked at the event (or would have asked if there was time)". We would love to see a photo of you at the event or social media post with the reflection.
