Kozolchyk National Law Center Welcomes Nobel Nomination

Kozolchyk National Law Center Founder and Director Boris Kozolchyk has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his work addressing issues of economic justice between countries. The nomination, which was submitted by the University of Rio de la Plata, the Argentine Comparative Law Association and numerous other distinguished institutions and individuals around the world, comes as a result of a lifetime body of work on these issues.

“Dr. Kozolchyk’s commitment to economic justice around the world is an inspiration,” said Center Board of Directors Chairman Horacio Gutierrez. “My colleagues on the board and the entire team at the Center fully endorse this honor.”

Kozolchyk founded the National Law Center for Inter-American Free Trade in 1992. It was recently renamed in his honor.
