Session Recordings from SWIICL 2022 Symposium on Global Business Now Publicly Available

The Center for American and International Law’s Southwestern Institute for International and Comparative Law (“SWIICL”) has released the recordings from its virtual Symposium on Global Business: The Challenges of Doing Business in an Imperfect World held on June 27, 2022.

Against the backdrop of ongoing global issues rising from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, SWIICL convened 12 leaders from the academic, legal, and corporate sectors to facilitate discussions about the modern risks of international business in an imperfect world. Some discussion topics included the role of global companies in peacebuilding, the risks brands face when corporate decisions ultimately aid bad actors, the emergence of governance as a form of peacebuilding, and corporate actors in the role of peacebuilders.
