University of Georgia School of Law Professor Emerita Diane Marie Amann recently joined four other international lawyers in an American Society of International Law online discussion entitled “Peace law, policy, practice: A Women’s History Month roundtable.”

Amann served as co-organizer and co-moderator along with Jaya Ramji-Nogales, who is the Sheller Family Professor in Public Law at Temple Beasley School of Law. Also on the panel were Megan Donaldson, an Associate Professor at University College London Faculty of Laws; Annelise Riles, Professor of Law at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law; and Anna Spain Bradley, MacArthur Foundation Chair in International Justice & Human Rights and Faculty Director of the Promise Institute of Human Rights at UCLA School of Law.

Together, they explored a variety of issues related to peace. These included: imagining peace, as an ongoing, relational, community-grounded practice committed to ending both violence and its socioeconomic causes; histories of peace movements and the challenges those movements have faced; foundations of peace law and the role of law in peace-building; and strategies for centering peace in the present moment. A video of the event is available here.

Host of the roundtable was the American Society of International Law Women in International Law Interest Group (ASIL WILIG), on whose Executive Committee Professor Amann serves.

Amann is Regents’ Professor Emerita and Emily & Ernest Woodruff Chair in International Law Emerita at Georgia Law, and served for many years as a Faculty Co-Director of our Dean Rusk International Law Center. She is currently a Visiting Professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science Law School.
