Professor Diane Marie Amann recently presented “Human Trafficking Law” to judges in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit as part of the circuit’s 2024 Judicial Conference.

Amann situated the crime of human trafficking within efforts to combat illicit flows of myriad goods, ranging from armaments to endangered animal species. She then considered the interplay of multilateral treaties and national statutes by comparing U.S. and British precedents on whether diplomatic immunity applies in cases alleging domestic servitude.

The talk furthered outreach efforts by the American Society of International Law, on whose Judicial Education Committee Amann serves.

Amann is Regents’ Professor of International Law, Emily & Ernest Chair in International Law, and Faculty Co-Director of the Dean Rusk International Law Center here at the University of Georgia School of Law. She writes and teaches in areas including transnational and international criminal law, child and human rights, constitutional law, and global legal history.
