International Human Rights Day Zimbabwe Supplement
In an unprecedented move in the 57-year history of the International Bar Association, the IBA’s Human Rights Institute placed an eight-page supplement in two national newspapers to mark International Human Rights Day on December 10, 2004, and to bring further focus to the worsening situation in Zimbabwe.

The supplement appeared in South Africa’s Mail & Guardian and Zimbabwe’s Independent. It gives a voice to some of the leading human rights defenders in Zimbabwe and includes analysis from some of the most prominent human rights figures from neighbouring South Africa, Asia, Europe and America. The content puts in stark relief the continuing and calculated stripping of universal human rights from the people of Zimbabwe.

Business of Law – 2nd Edition
To celebrate the Section on Business Law 1970 – 2004 an updated edition of the book The Business of Law is now available to all members of the Section. The book, first published in 1995, contains personal recollections of the Section on Business Law from its founding in 1970 up to 2004 and the restructure of the International Bar Association.

Members of the Section on Business Law can obtain a copy of the book by contacting the IBA at
publications@int-bar.org.   
 


Joining FREE Constituents in the Public & Professional Interest Division (PPID)

In the new structure of the IBA, every member is entitled to FREE membership of one constituent of PPID.  Many members already belong to a committee or forum which has become part of PPID in the new structure, and this can now be your free constituent.

However, many of you do not yet have a PPID constituent as part of your membership, and we invite you to choose this now.  To take a look at all the various options open to you, please visit our website.

Once you have made your choice, please email us at: member@int-bar.org.
