UW School of Law Professor Anita Ramasastry has been awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to teach at the Irish Centre for Human Rights at National University of Ireland (NUI) - Galway during the 2007-08 academic year. Her research will focus on defining legal standards related to "corporate complicity," an emerging area of law that looks at holding businesses accountable for their role in aiding human rights violations in war zones and through economic partnerships with repressive regimes.
Ramasastry has previously been recognized as an expert in this arena. Last June, she was appointed by the International Commission of Jurists in Geneva, Switzerland, as a special advisor to an expert panel addressing corporate complicity in international human rights violations.
