The American Society of International Law announced Friday its election of C. Clyde Ferguson, a Law School professor, as president of the society.

Ferguson, the first black elected president in the society's 72-year history, will remain in office for two years.

"As president I would like to have a positive impact on human rights movements; reordering the world economic order, especially concerning Third World nations; and on international security, such as the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks," Ferguson said yesterday.

Ferguson, a former ambassador to Uganda and dean of Howard Law School, introduced the first course on international human rights in the nation while teaching at Rutgers Law School. It is currently one of his courses at Harvard.

Past presidents of the society, which serves as a research center for about 5000 international lawyers, political scientists and students, include former Secretaries of State Dean Rusk and William Rogers.
