CHALLENGES AS diverse as the HIV/AIDS epidemic, climate change, the instability of the international security environment and the aspirations of Generation Y were addressed by international law reform chiefs when they met in Sydney last week.
Professor David Weisbrot, Australian Law Reform Commission president, said the aim of the conference was to predict and prepare for the major challenges of the coming decades.
“The changes in areas such as genetic science and community medicine, demographics, the environment, human rights, international security and the ‘new media’ are so dynamic that there’s a real danger that our legal systems won’t cope unless we can be proactive about law reform,” he said.
