<p>On-site event, organised by the Department of Law of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance at the University of Luxembourg.</p><p></p><h3>Speaker</h3><p><strong>Kevin William Gray</strong>, <em>Dean Acheson Fellow from Columbia Law School at the General Court of Justice </em></p><h3></h3><h3>Abstract</h3><p>This paper continues my work on the interplay of legal systems and international law through a detailed reading of the jurisprudence of the East African Court of Justice (EACJ). In particular, I develop a theory of the uses of democratic norms in transnational settings. Focusing on the East African Community (EAC), I develop a theory designed to show how opposition groups, including political parties and NGOs, use international courts such as the EACJ to advance their political agendas in one-party states or those multiparty states in the EAC where the rule of law has been seriously undermined. I show how international courts provide a place for democratic deliberation and the exercise of constituent power in situations where rule of law at the national level has been seriously compromised.</p><h3></h3><h3>Location</h3><p><strong>in-person only: </strong></p><p>University of Luxembourg</p><p>Campus Kirchberg - Weicker Building</p><p>room B001 (ground floor) </p><p>4, rue Alphonse Weicker, L-2721 Luxembourg</p><h3></h3><h3>Language</h3><p>English</p><p><a href="https://wwwen.uni.lu/research/fdef/dl/news_events/taming_states_democratic_contestation_and_international_law_in_the_east_african_court_of_justice" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://wwwen.uni.lu/research/fdef/dl/news_events/taming_states_democratic_contestation_and_international_law_in_the_east_african_court_of_justice</a></p>
