Inter-Pandemic Vaccine Regulation: Justice and Global Equity

Organized by NYU's Journal for International Law and Politics' 28th Annual Herbert Rubin and Justice Rose Luttan Rubin International Law Symposium in cooperation with the Institute for International Law and Justice's Pauline Newman Program in Science, Technology and International Law.

Each epidemic of a globally-distributed infectious disease is followed by what in political and social terms is often characterized as a post-pandemic phase, but which in terms of regulatory upgrading and planning must be understood as inter-pandemic. Drawing from experiences in prior epidemics and from Covid-19, and with specific attention on vaccines, outstanding scholars and policy leaders in global public health, intellectual property, and innovation law will discuss regulatory approaches, policy tools, and new or refurbished institutions that should be established to ensure that more robust and equitable law and governance are in place ahead of the next pandemic.

The conference will inaugurate the Pauline Newman Program in Science, Technology, and International Law at the Institute for International Law and Justice.

The full program and RSVP info is available here:

During the 2022 Spring Semester, a groups of students and scholars of international law at NYU School of Law met regularly to read and discuss Professor Martti Koskenniemi’s long awaited book, To the Uttermost Parts of the Earth: Legal Imagination and International Power, 1300–1870 (Cambridge University Press, 2021). Sixteen years in the making, the book is a marvelously crafted telling of 600 years of European legal imagination centered on the formation and consolidation of “sovereignty” and “property”.

As we read the book we asked ourselves many questions: how to characterize the work—is it a history, a genealogy, a mythology? and a history of what? of international law? of statehood? of capitalism? of European expansion? We asked about the many (European men) whose monologues populate the story, and about the absent voices of “others”, women and imperial subjects. We asked about the relation between this book and Koskenniemi’s previous work that has influenced many of us.

To conclude our discussion we invited Professor Koskenniemi to join us for an online public conversation. Led by the group’s members and held in the presence of Professors Gráinne de Burca and Benedict Kingsbury among others, this will also be an occasion to celebrate the book and honor its author.
