ASIL Annual Meeting: The Rise of Restrictions on Data Flows and Digital Technologies: National Security, Human Rights, or Geo-economics?

Guarini Global Law & Tech Executive Director Thomas Streinz moderated a pre-recorded panel on the rise of restrictions on data flows and digital technologies for the (virtual) Annual Meeting of the American Society of International Law. The panelists Ambassador George Mina, Australia’s Representative to the World Trade Organization, Maria Martin-Prat from the European Commission’s Directorate General for Trade, Yan Luo from Covington & Burling’s Beijing office, and Professor Sarah Bauerle Danzman from the Indiana University Bloomington discussed whether the international community needs to rethink its conceptual toolkit to account for the world’s interconnected nature in terms of data flows, digital technologies, and investment, and whether new norms of international law need to be developed, and in which venues.

The session was recorded on March 4 and streamed during the Annual Meeting on March 24.
