SUMMARY:Bar associations and international human rights conventions
DESCRIPTION:Many bar associations have human rights entities as component
 s. Who sets the policy for the bar? What levels of autonomy do such enti
 ties have? Importantly\, organized bars are often looked to by governmen
 t actors for guidance on international law issues and conventions. With 
 the release from the UN 6th Committee of the draft Crimes Against Humani
 ty Convention\, Bars as representatives and voices of the legal communit
 y have an opportunity to help shape international human rights law. This
  is of concern to not only public interest lawyers but commercial lawyer
 s as well\, since increasing hard law concerning human rights is develop
 ing from soft law instruments. The IBA’s own BHR Guidance for Bar Associ
 ations will also be discussed as part of this debate.
