A word from...

  • Uquiola de Palacio

    UIA President

    Dear friends and colleagues,

    Our Congress, the flagship event organised every year by our beloved UIA, is drawing closer. The 67th edition will take place this year in Rome, for the first time since 1927, when our association was founded. The "eternal city" is a melting pot of cultures dating back thousands of years, where time and art give people an elevated and almost transcendent perspective. This atmosphere will unquestionably be a source of inspiration for the Congress participants! There will be many attractions outside the meeting rooms, but I am sure that the main themes will capture the attention of the Congress participants: "Freedom of Movement, Migration and Human Rights" and "Food, Environment and Energy Challenges".

    Without doubt, both issues are very topical, but at the same time also complex and controversial. The human drama of migration, when it is a necessity for survival, is added to the drama of war and environmental challenges. These are two intertwined facets of the same tragedy that falsify the illusion of complacency and self-righteousness of rich societies. Indeed, both issues challenge the very pillars of our human rights system. On the one hand, they raise doubts about the coherence of a modern interpretation based on the positive obligations of States to guarantee certain conditions and provide certain minimum services for the protection of basic legal goods such as life and health, related to food and the environment. On the other hand, they call into question the obligation of these States to reach an international consensus in the form of clear rules, which ensure the legal security of people – all people – in the face of the great uncertainties of life.

    Both subjects call for a calm technical and legal debate that can also contribute to the search for realistic solutions. Through the 45 working sessions scheduled and by listening to the 300 speakers – with all the variety and depth stemming from the diversity of the origins of the speakers and participants, coming from more than 80 countries – I am convinced that we will make concrete progress in the quest for realistic and viable solutions to these issues, which call into question the very essence of our capacity as lawyers.

    We will be able to reflect on all this in the incomparable setting of a city that will undoubtedly leave lasting memories for all of us. For me, this will be a unique opportunity, as the Congress will take place during my term of office, and I look forward to seeing you all there in person!

    Arrivederci a Roma!

  • Claudio Coggiatti

    President of the UIA 67th Congress

    Dear Colleagues, Dearest Friends,

    Here we are, finally!

    On behalf of the members of the Organising Committee, I have the honour and pleasure to warmly invite you all to attend the 67th Annual Congress of our beloved Association, to be held in Rome from October 25 to 29, 2023.

    Italy, the Bel Paese has already had the honour of hosting you on the occasion of previous UIA Congresses (Milan 1958, Turin 2001, Florence 2014), but, putting aside any false modesty, be assured that the one in Rome will be a truly exceptional Congress, definitely not to be missed.

    Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire, is HISTORY.

    Rome, the birthplace of the Renaissance perfection of Bramante, Raphael and Michelangelo, and the stage on which artists of the calibre of Bernini, Borromini, Canova, and Caravaggio competed  for excellence, is ART.

    Rome, the mother of the corpus iuris civilis, is the CRADLE OF LAW.

    Rome, the eternal city, is an ELIXIR FOR A LONG LIFE.

    The city and traditions of Rome are perfectly matched to the two main Congress themes, “Freedom of Movement, Migration and Human Rights” and “Food, Environment and Energy Challenges”.

    Rome, the navel of the Mediterranean, has, since time immemorial, an innate predisposition to hospitality and, with its cuisine, traditionally defined as poor because based on natural products of strict local origin (today we would say "at Km 0") represents a guide and a model of development that can contribute to access to food for the vast communities that are still deprived of it.

    It is no coincidence that the International Institute of Agriculture had its headquarters in Rome from 1905 to 1948 and the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations have been in Rome since 1951.

    We look forward to welcoming you with outstretched arms, hoping Rome’s most beautiful month of ottobrata will also be our devoted partner.

    There is no way we could go wrong: “All Roads Lead To Rome”!

WELCOME TO ROME!

For the first time since its founding year, 1927, UIA will hold its Annual Congress in Italian capitol city, Rome.
With its history stretching back thousands of years, Rome is the city with the highest concentration of historical and architectural riches in the world. Its historical centre, outlined by the enclosing Aurelian Walls, layering nearly three thousand years of antiquity, is an invaluable testimony to the European western world’s cultural, artistic and historical legacy.
The cradle of la dolce vita, Rome offers a huge range of possibilities for visitors, with a myriad of restaurants, breath-taking landscapes, its lively nightlife, and the overwhelming warmth of Italian’s welcoming spirit.

ACCOMMODATION

The registration programme will be available soon. In the meantime, you can already book your accommodation for the Congress!

The hotels selected by the UIA are located in the center of Rome, at a short distance from the Parco dei Principi Hotel (Congress venue).
