Limerick - Event Notice Thursday January 01 1970 Costa Rican Lawyer to Speak on Neutrality in Limerick
A human rights lawyer who challenged the Costa Rican government on breaches of neutrality under its Constitution and won will speak at the Mechanics Institute in Limerick on Tuesday 24th Feb at 7pm.
Roberto Zamora works mostly on constitutional affairs and litigation for the protection of human rights. As a college student he challenged Costa Rican President Pacheco's decision to support the US/UK led aggression on Iraq. The Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court ruled the support as unconstitutional, and ordered the country's withdrawal from the coalition. He also successfully challenged a presidential decision to allow the manufacture of nuclear fuel and nuclear reactors "for all purposes" in Costa Rica. Mr Zamora argues that the tactics he used should be applied to other countries, setting their own precedents to institutionalize national human rights commitments as binding international law. What Mr. Zamora has to say is particularly relevant to Ireland at this time, as two bills on neutrality come up for discussion in the Dail in the coming weeks. It is in this context that we are delighted to welcome him to Ireland.
All are welcome.
