International Law in Turbulent Times with Anne-Marie Slaughter

Buffett Conversation

The Buffett Institute hosted a conversation with Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO of the think and action tank New America and former Director of Policy Planning in the U.S. State Department. In a wide-ranging discussion moderated by Karen J. Alter, Norman Dwight Harris Professor of International Relations at Northwestern’s Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences, Slaughter examined how individuals and countries like the United States promote and undermine international law as a tool to promote human rights, peace and prosperity. She also shared perspectives on what countries, political leaders, thought leaders and individuals can do to promote the vision of peace and justice that international law suggests and promises.
