You are subscribed to Law Library: News & Events from the Library of Congress. Join foreign law specialists Kelly Buchanan on, May 28, at 10:00 a.m. EDT for a Foreign and Comparative Law Webinar focusing on parliamentary rules and sanctions for language and behavior in New Zealand and Australia. This series of classes is designed to shed light on some of the foreign and comparative law issues currently being researched by the foreign law and international law experts at the Law Library of Congress. During the past two years, several members of parliament in Australia and New Zealand have faced sanctions for their behavior in the debating chamber. In particular, there have been suspensions handed down for performing a haka in the New Zealand Parliament and for wearing a burqa in the Australian Senate. Foreign law specialist Kelly Buchanan will outline the rules that regulate the conduct of members of the two national parliaments and how they are enforced, including their application in these two cases.
