The goal of the conference is to discuss legal and political solutions to the historical and contemporary ethical problems of law and politics. Law and politics are not free from ethical questions that deserve careful attention of lawyers, political scientists, philosophers, sociologists, and historians.

Proposed (sample) thematic areas of your conference presentation:
• Living will
• Abortion
• Euthanasia
• Human embryos created for medical research
• Medically assisted procreation
• Multiculturalism
• Cyberbullying
• Racial justice
• How social and economic discrimination affect healthcare and education sectors
• Human Rights – major ethical problems
• Global warming and pollution
• Nepotism

The thematic areas mentioned above are to be treated only as examples. Moreover, presentations may be of an interdisciplinary nature, combining various fields of knowledge. Presentations may touch upon problems regardless of their geographical boundaries. Hence, we encourage you to submit abstracts that go beyond the above list.
