About TLB

  • Philip Jessup proposed the idea of a transnational law course. His vision of the subject was broad, including public and private international law; state and non-state actors; business, administrative, and political affairs; as well as negotiation and litigation. Inspired by his idea, TLB is only constrained by its pursuit to address all law transcending national frontiers.

Factory in China Accidentally Makes Free Tibet Flags

Freetibet A factory in China has been manufacturing 'Free Tibet' flags (h/t Foreign Passport Blog). According to the BBC, the factory owner said the flags were ordered from outside China, and he did not know the flags were a symbol for a free Tibet. The flags are known as the Snow Lion Flag and they have been banned in China. Factory workers discovered the meaning of the flag by looking it up online.

Chinese police fear that some of the flags have already been shipped to Hong Kong and could appear there during the torch relay later this week. Hong Kong is looking like it's going to be another raucous event, possibly starring Mia Farrow of all people.
