Geraldine Kelly PRESIDENT DSBA www.DSBA.ie The Dublin Solicitors <strong>Bar</strong> <strong>Association</strong> (DSBA) is Pleased to Welcome the IBA to our Home Town The DSBA was set up in 1935 by a dedicated and like-minded group of solicitors who identifi ed the need for an association of solicitors to refl ect the views of those practising throughout Dublin and to represent their interests. At that time solicitors throughout Dublin numbered no more than 355 and throughout the country a mere 789 as compared with the four thousand solicitors in Dublin alone today and over eight thousand solicitors throughout the country. The DSBA has responded to the ever growing demands and needs of Dublin solicitors and has attracted, and continues to attract solicitors from throughout the Leinster region and beyond. We hope you enjoy your stay and make the most of our Dublin hospitality D
The IBA Global Financial Crisis Project Our programme in Dublin takes on a very important theme this year. IBA President Akira Kawamura has extended the IBA’s Global Financial Crisis (GFC) Project to address his and our profession’s profound concerns for the predicament of the poor. Phase Two will assess, and to the extent that it is feasible, propose social and legal reforms that would remediate the hardships encountered in society as a consequence of cataclysmic events such as the GFC. Given their connection to the work of the Task Force, a series of sessions for this conference have been highlighted as ‘President Priority Sessions’ and are so noted in the programme and listed below. These sessions will be monitored and their contents summarised for inclusion in a planned book of papers. Hendrik Haag, former Chair of the Legal Practice Division, led Phase One of the Task Force. It prepared a report to address the deficiencies of systems of financial regulation and offered suggestions for reform. Now, under the leadership of Dr Peter Maynard, Chair of the Public and Professional Interest Division (PPID), the PPID is carrying out Phase Two. Through a book of papers by noteworthy authors, the Task Day Time Sponsored by Title Location Page Monday 0930 – 1230 Public Law Section Beyond the tipping point: is mankind populating itself into extinction?

When economic hardships intensify, those living in poverty suffer immediately and the most. With no buffer to protect them, the poor risk losing what little they have, including shelter and food. The Global Financial Crisis has taken even the most basic work away from the poor and has driven others into poverty. Further disabled by poverty, the poor have no ready means of recovery. Phase Two will report on wider social and legal problems that have resulted from, or been highlighted by, the GFC. It will look for solutions through suggesting changes that can be made to the legal arrangements and frameworks. The Task Force will aim to define social/legal policy that would serve to improve the circumstances of people’s lives and avoid both foreseeable and unforeseen consequences in times of financial crisis. The following are the President Priority Sessions that will be held over the next five days: CSR, the financial industry and project financing Fair and equitable treatment: the issue of corruption in international investment arbitrations Public and private use of human rights: how can advocacy of human rights best be achieved in both spheres? The role of financial institutions in the fight against corruption – can we bank on them? CSR in Africa – effective tool or convenient escape?
