University of Georgia School of Law Professor Diane Marie Amann spoke last Friday in the United Kingdom, on an Oxford Union panel entitled “Crimes of the Powerful: Should Head of State Immunity Be Abolished under International Law?”

Her co-panelist was Linos-Alexandre Sicilianos, who is Professor of Law at the University of Athens, Greece, and the former President of the European Court of Human Rights. Moderating was Israr Khan, President of the Oxford Union, a 200-year-old debating society which draws much of its membership from the University of Oxford.

Amann is Regents’ Professor of International Law, Emily & Ernest Woodruff Chair in International Law, and a Faculty Co-Director of our Dean Rusk International Law Center here at Georgia Law.
