Yuri Kostenko PaperWednesday, March 8, 2000 at 2:30 p.m.Rukh leader, the Honorable YURI KOSTENKO, a current Member of the Ukrainian Parliament, will be delivering a paper in a panel on the environment during a symposium "Democracy and the Rule of Law in a Changing World Order" March 7-10, 2000 at the Library of Congress. The symposium will examine the relationship between the rule of law and the spread of democracy in many parts of the world and look at how countries with differing legal traditions confront major common problems under a constitutionally provided rule of law. Democracy and the Rule of Law will focus on seven significant areas of the law where changing needs and evolving legislation create a dynamic legal context, including transnational justice and national sovereignty; corporate power, national sovereignty, and the rule of law in a global economy; natural resources and the environment: individual versus community interests; political status and democracy in multi-ethnic and multi-racial states; the state and human rights; roles of women: norms and cultures; religion, culture, and governance. The symposium's co-sponsors are the Law Library of the Library of Congress and the New York University School of Law. Sessions are free, open to the public, and there is no registration required. Starting March 7, 2000, Democracy and the Rule of Law in a Changing World Order will be cybercast live at www.loc.gov/loc/cyberlc.
