The IVR world congress is the most important congress on Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy, and takes place every 2 years in various parts of the world. The 17th world congress will be devoted to the changes, new functions and roles of law at the end of our century, bearing in mind the crucial events that have characterized the last decade. New forms of sovereignty and citizenship are appearing in Europe; new international orders are prevailing in the world; problems of nationality, religion and ethnic groups are also evolving in new ways. Technology and the media have an enormous impact on law and justice, which are called upon to carry out very demanding tasks. The traditional theory of the sources of law has to be largely re-examined, and many issues of rights are at stake. A part of the congress will be devoted to reports on the current state of research in legal and social philosophy in different countries or cultural areas. Distinguished lecturers will address the topics characterizing the main sessions: - Rights and Other Legal Protections - New Forms of Sovereignty and Citizenship - New and Ancient Sources of Law - Law and Technology Parallel sessions, symposia and workshops will provide a comprehensive coverage of these main themes. The 17th IVR World Congress will consider including one or more workshops dedicated to the reciprocal influences of technology and law, with particular reference to the field of computer science. The exponential growth of large-scale, international computer network poses new relevant legal problems, from copyright to privacy to computer crimes; new network services aid law scholars and professionals in their job; advanced AI research finds in the law domain interesting topics of study; the large masses of legal documents require innovative paradigms for handling, storing and retrieving data: information retrieval, hypertext and advanced data bases are interesting candidates. Contributions are welcome on the following suggested topics and others that may be considered interesting. A partial list of subjects is: - legal issues in international networks - artificial intelligence and law - hypertext for law - legal databases and information retrieval systems - privacy and technology - computer crimes Authors are invited to send statements of interest and submit abstracts of possible papers by AUGUST 31, 1994.
