The following are a few developments from our friends at the Canadian Council on International Law (CCIL):
Winners of the Ronald St. John Macdonald Award
CCIL extends its congratulations to the two student winners of the Ronald St. John Macdonald award: Andréanne Charpentier-Garant (Graduate category) and Alix Tolliday (Undergraduate category). Ms. Charpentier-Grant recently concluded her LLM at Utrecht University, having completed her undergraduate law degree at UQAM. Alix Tolliday is completing a JD at the University of Victoria. Congratulations to both – it was no small thing to win this award, given the quality of the roughly 50 papers we received. (Some good summer reading.)
Both will now present their papers at the CCIL annual conference Nov 8-11. In relation to that conference, we would certainly welcome your registration. Many have already registered and thank you if you are among them. We are looking forward to a terrific event with many notable speakers, including Philippe Sands QC. More information is on the preliminary program at www.ccil-ccdi.ca/ccil-program/.
Canadian Yearbook of International Law
On behalf of the Canadian Yearbook of International Law, I would like to bring to your attention the Yearbook’s Call for Papers for its next volume. That call has been posted on the CCIL website at bit.ly/T4Iggb. I hope you will consider publishing in this excellent venue.
CCIL Veterans Scholarship
The CCIL is making requests for its veteran’s scholarship in international humanitarian law. The CCIL will have a reasonably sized one-time prize. The CCIL is looking for additional tax-creditable donations before it finalizes the scholarship and strikes a committee to award the scholarship for academic year 2013. All proceeds are to go to the successful student. For more on this CCIL scholarship see: ccil-ccdi.squarespace.com/ccil-veterans-scholarship/. Donations can be made on-line with a credit card via the Canadahelps icon on the website or by cheque to CCIL at 275 Bay Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1R 5Z5, ATTN Veterans Scholarship.
