This year’s theme sheds light on the enforcement in international law and the forces that can subvert it. From the rise of AI to the rise of populism; from the use of force to market forces to the forces of climate change; from the adoption of international instruments to its reception in domestic courts, the enforcement of international law must confront the challenges of an ever-changing world. In moving through these fluctuations, can international law retain its sway?
The call for proposals is now closed.
