Grateful for the invitation to join the “Views on Latin America” panel at Tilburg University earlier this month, organised by TiMUN Society and Studium Generale.
Two topics, one afternoon: first, the intersections of environmental governance and indigenous rights; then, the challenges of regional integration in an age of new technologies.
We covered a lot of ground — from the Escazú Agreement and rights of nature, to the MERCOSUR–EU deal stuck at the ECJ, BRICS as a hedging strategy, and AI governance caught between Brussels and Washington.
Excellent conversation with Paula Javiera Echavarria Merino (Chilean Embassy), Dr Fabio de Castro (CEDLA/UvA), and Dr Michael C. Leach (Tilburg Law School), chaired by Bernardo Dantas.
Many thanks to the TiMUN Society directors — Konstantina Kyriakidi, Sophia Lattemann, Lorenzo Favale, Michał Lecyk, Denis Habart — and to Has Klerx at Studium Generale for the organisation.
