A lunchtime discussion featuring Sergio Puig, Associate Professor of Law and Director of the International Economic Law and Policy Program at the University of Arizona College of Law

 

Few areas of international practice illustrate the tensions between business and human rights better than the implementation of the duty to consult with indigenous peoples. Based on his recent paper, Mitigating State Sovereignty: The Duty to Consult with Indigenous Peoples, Professor Sergio Puig will discuss a new theoretical lens to understand the problems resulting from divergent conceptualizations of this duty.

Sergio Puig is an Associate Professor of Law and Director of the International Economic Law and Policy Program at the University of Arizona College of Law. Previously, he served as a lecturing fellow at Duke Law School and lecturer in law at Stanford Law School. He was a teaching fellow in the Stanford Program in International Legal Studies. He was also the co-founder of tradelab.org, an online community-based platform to facilitate legal assistance and services related to international trade and investment matters.
