Conference on Domestic Consequences of Human Rights Treaty Ratification: Panel V

Conference on Domestic Consequences of Human Rights Treaty Ratification: Panel V, "Compliance Politics and Socialization Effects" On October 15-16, the NYU School of Law's Center for Human Rights and Global Justice hosted a conference entitled, The Domestic Consequences of International Human Rights Treaty Ratification, co-organized by Professors Ryan Goodman (NYU) and Beth Simmons (Harvard). A bewildering array of research has recently been devoted to the question of compliance with international human rights law. Political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists and legal scholars have all recently grappled with the question of what effects, if any, international legal norms have had on actual rights practices within countries. This conference brought together scholars from law and the social sciences working on the consequences of international law in the domestic setting.
