Susan Karamanian, a leading expert on international law who serves as Associate Dean for International and Comparative Legal Studies at George Washington University’s Law School, will explore realizing the legal rights of the Armenian nation during her presentation at Armenian Cause 2.0, the Armenian National Committee of America’s conference to be held in Washington from June 24 to 27.

“We are very pleased to announce that Associate Dean Susan Karamanian will be joining with us at Armenian Cause 2.0 to share her keen insights and sharp analysis of the rights of the Armenian nation and the responsibilities of the international community regarding a truthful and just resolution of the Armenian Genocide,” said Aram Hamparian, Executive Director of the ANCA. “As a leader in the field of international law, Dean Karamanian, will draw on her far-ranging expertise and experience in addressing avenues for securing justice for the Armenian nation.”

Joining Dean Karamanian, a former Rhodes Scholar, as part of the rights and reparations discussion will be Kate Nahapetian, the ANCA’s Government Affairs Director, who has litigated human rights class actions and documented abuses for the prosecution against General Augusto Pinochet of Chile. Nahapetian will address issues ranging from the ANCA’s role in supporting Armenian Genocide-related class actions in U.S. courts to the treaty rights of the Armenian nation. Among the specific avenues that will be discussed during this presentation is the right of the Republic of Armenia to bring reparations claims before the International Court of Justice, Asbarez reported.
