University of Saskatchewan Law Student
Receives Invitation to International Conference

A University of Saskatchewan student has received one of 15
invitations in North America to attend a workshop sponsored by the
Commission for Environmental Co-operation (CEC) in Montreal on
January 29, 1999.

Second-year law student Jonathan Denis received the invitation to
participate based on a submission on International Environmental
Law Enforcement. Mr. Denis?s comments outlined the need for a
timely and effective dispute resolution process that includes
immediate measures which can be taken when environmental
disputes arise between citizens, corporations, and governments
within the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

The CEC is an environmental organization that was established in
1994 as a part of NAFTA. Fellow attendants at Friday?s conference
include representatives from governments, corporations, non-
governmental organizations, and individuals from Canada, the United
States, and Mexico.

Mr. Denis is the only student who has been invited to attend the one-
day conference.
