Prof Tommy Koh, Chairman of CIL’s Governing Board, received the 2014 Great Negotiator Award from Harvard University on 10 April 2014. Ambassador Koh is the 11th recipient of the Great Negotiator Award, awarded jointly in 2014 by the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School and the Future of Diplomacy Project at Harvard Kennedy School. The award recognises Ambassador Koh for his work as chief negotiator for the United States-Singapore Free Trade Agreement, for chairing the negotiations that produced a charter for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), for key actions that resolved territorial and humanitarian disputes in the Baltics and Asia, and for successfully leading two unprecedented global megaconferences: the Third U.N. Conference on the Law of the Sea and the U.N. Conference on the Environment and Development, also known as the Rio Earth Summit. Previous recipients of the award include former UN High Commissioner for Refugees Sadako Ogata and former US Secretary of State James A Baker.
