The Magna Carta
- Its Relevance for today and tomorrow - Conference
Our
Democratic Heritage
www.odh.org.uk held a
debate in Bloomsbury, London, on this year’s Magna Carta Day. By symbolising
freedom from tyranny, Magna Carta has been a touchstone for concepts of
rights and responsibilities for centuries. Whatever our views it is vital
that we come together to celebrate the creation of the freedoms we now enjoy
and to debate how best to preserve and extend them today. It will discuss
the contemporary relevance of the Magna Carta, and how its legacy should
be carried into the future. Widely recognized as a pivotal document in the
development of the rule of law, the debate discusses alternate
interpretations of Magna Carta’s meaning for a contemporary audience. Our
Democratic Heritage. We are looking to support anyone interested in holding
their own activity on that day, however small or ambitious.

IBA Rule of Law Symposium
October 11, 2013
Rule of Law Action Group
n Prague 2005, the IBA Council passed a Rule of Law Resolution. It was
followed by a rule of law initiative in 2006. The Rule of Law Action Group
has been given the responsibility to provoke, urge and assist the membership
of the IBA in supporting and promoting the rule of law.
Since 2006, the final day of the annual IBA conferences has been
dedicated to rule of law issues. Following successful rule of law symposia
in Chicago, Singapore, Buenos Aires, Madrid, Vancouver, Dubai and Dublin,
the final day of the conference in Boston 2013 will also be devoted to the
rule of law.
Corruption and the rule of law
Keynote speaker
Paul Volcker American Economist and former Chairman of
the Federal Reserve
Respect
for the rule of law is an essential component of democratic governance.
Corruption on the part of state officials is calculated to undermine the
rule of law and erode public confidence in government. It constitutes theft
from the pockets of all citizens and undermines the moral fibre of the
citizenry. As was famously stated by Justice Louis D Brandeis, ‘Our
government teaches the whole people by its example. If the government
becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law: it invites every man to
become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy’. The elimination of fraud and
theft on the part of state officials is essential to safeguard the rule of
law.
Paul Volcker, American economist and former Chairman of the US Federal
Reserve, addressed the Rule of Law Symposium at the IBA Annual Conference
2013. He spoke on corruption and the rule of law.

Magna Carta and the rule of law
Keynote speaker
Justice Stephen Breyer US Supreme Court, Washington DC,
USA
2015
will mark the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, the ‘great charter’ that
for the first time reined in the power of absolute English monarchs. The
idea that all are subject to the law, including kings and presidents, had
its origin in Magna Carta. It is also the basis of the rule of law, the very
heart of a democratic form of government. It is appropriate that the
International Bar Association in 2013 should look ahead to the important
anniversary of a document that has inspired democracy and the rule of law in
many countries.
Stephen Breyer, Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court, addresses the
Rule of Law Symposium at the IBA Annual Conference 2013, in anticipation of
the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta, a document that has inspired democracy
and the rule of law in many countries.

ABA Section of International
Law
2013 Fall Meeting London England
Tuesday October 15, 2013
4:30 pm – 6:00 pm Coronation Suite, 2nd Floor
Magna Carta: the Fountain of Freedom and Democracy
The American Bar Association has joined the United
Kingdom and the other Commonwealth nations in honoring the 800th Anniversary
of the sealing of Magna Carta in 1215. The fundamental concepts of liberty
that had their beginnings in Magna Carta were transplanted to the American
colonies, influencing our history and the United States Constitution. The
2013 meeting of the ABA Section of International Law in London provides an
ideal opportunity to build on the gathering momentum for the 2015
commemorative events. This panel explores the historical and contemporary
significance of the Magna Carta to many legal systems around the world,
including those based in both the common law and civil law traditions.
Lesser-known documents, such as the Charter of the Forests signed shortly
after the Magna Carta, will also be noted. Featuring distinguished experts
from both sides of the Atlantic, this session promises to be a milestone in
drawing the past and the present together for a fresh understanding of the
rule of law.
