Registration has opened for the fifth annual conference at Yale hosted by the Global Justice Program and Global Financial Integrity. The conference will focus on illicit financial flows, the Millennium Development Goals replacement process, and impact efforts by leading poverty research centers. The Friday-Sunday conference, Oct. 18-20, is titled “Human Rights and Economic Justice: Essential Elements of the Post-MDG Agenda?”
Friday panels will focus on the role of tax havens and illicit financial flows in perpetuating extreme poverty globally. Speakers on Saturday will share insight on the Millennium Development Goals replacement effort, responding in part to the expected early-October announcement from UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon on the final shape of the new efforts. Sunday will see the heads of global justice and poverty research centers from around the world share their ideas and best practices for promoting direct positive impact on poverty alleviation policy and practice.
Event sponsors include the Edward J. and Dorothy Clarke Kempf Memorial Fund and Academics Stand Against Poverty.
Registration is free but required for catering purposes. To register, please contact Rachel Payne, Global Justice Program, at rachel.payne@yale.edu.
