Liberal visions of international order presume that peaceful settlement of disputes depends on the rule of law. Yet today many actors ignore United Nations resolutions, breach multilateral trade agreements, withdraw from international treaties, and violate legally established territorial borders. Is it the end of international law and order? Can we turn the tide, and if so how? Do we need a new kind of law to promote just peace, and if so what would it look like?

Schedule:

  • 14.00-15.00 Roundtable
  • 15.00-16.00 Breakout Groups
  • 16.00-17.00 Borrel
