Human rights concerns increasingly
inform decisions under U.S. trade law. The U.S. Government now considers human
rights in making export controls decisions, new sanctions designations,
negotiation and enforcement of free trade agreements, and, especially, U.S.
policy towards China. This CLE will provide an overview of recent developments
on human rights and U.S. trade law, with analysis of key legal issues for
corporate counsel, non-governmental organizations, and the interested public.
Topics will include how human rights have resulted in new export controls, how
human rights impact export control licensing decisions, sanctions designations
for human rights reasons, labor provisions in the U.S.-Canada-Mexico Agreement
(USMCA), and more.
