Once again, we have an edition of the International Law News that addresses issues that are both current and enduring.

Former Section Chair Bob Lutz writes a call to action and describes how senior lawyers are engaged, and can engage, in the U.S. Department of Commerce’s pro bono Commercial Law Development Program.

As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of ROLI, Greg Brelsford tells the sometime chilling story of ROLI’s on-the-ground work in Egypt – accomplishments interrupted, but not ended, by the sudden threats from revolution and midnight evacuation.

In this time of resurging pandemic (19 months by my count), there is advocacy for One World, One Health and for addressing Treaty Clauses and intellectual property laws that affect the price and thereby access to medications and vaccines.

Longtime Section leaders and friends from Canada, Jacqueline Bart and Sergio Karas (along with his co-author Ari Goodman), offer current insights into Immigration law.

We anticipate the possible legalization of Cannabis in Brazil and we have substantive articles of interest on laws and developments in Canada, Egypt, and India.

Once again, I invite you to peruse the table of contents. You will find an article that will pique your interest or touch your area of practice, and you will learn something for your trouble. Once again, I congratulate and thank the editors, staff, and authors, for this edition ILN – a habit we can appreciate.
