Professor Jorge Ramírez, Professor of Law and Director of International Programs, has been invited by the United Nations-mandated University for Peace ("UPEACE") and Global Majority to teach at their June 2008 international seminar in Ciudad Colon, Costa Rica. The seminar, entitled "Promoting Peace through Dialogue," will focus on international negotiation, mediation and conflict resolution. Global Majority is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization, which promotes non-violent conflict resolution, and UPEACE is a U.N. Treaty Organization created in 1980 by the U.N. General Assembly with the mission of providing the world with an international institution of higher learning that focuses on education for peace. UPEACE is the only U.N. entity authorized to grant degrees at the Masters and Doctoral levels, and is considered one of the most diverse universities of its size in the world. Professor Ramírez's teaching will focus on the various dispute settlement procedures provided for in both the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Central American Free Trade Agreement.
