A third public hearing for the Airspace Tribunal – an international forum to consider the case for and against a new human right to protect the freedom to live without physical or psychological threat from above – will be hosted online, from Toronto, next month.
The Airspace Tribunal is a public forum established two years ago by Kent School of Arts Reader Shona Illingworth and Kent Law School Emeritus Professor Nick Grief.
The public tribunal is examining the impact of accelerating geopolitical, technological and environmental change on the composition, nature and use of airspace, and considering the case for and against a proposed new human right to protect all people from physical or psychological threats from above.
This year’s hearing in Toronto will take place over three two-hour panel discussions via Zoom on:
• Sunday 1 November (14.00 –16.00) https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bAjf_rYARQa9iJhYgsMmLA
