CALL FOR PAPERS - ILA American Branch International Law Weekend October 2023 New York

International Law Weekend 2023 - the American Branch's annual conference and the premier international law event of the fall season, is scheduled for October 19-21 in New York City. 

The American Branch is pleased to invite other ILA Branches and their members to submit panel proposals for inclusion in the conference program. We hope to have strong representations from many different ILA Branches at their year's conference. 

The theme of ILW 2023 is Beyond International Law: International law is at a crossroads. While there have been many successes, the system’s shortcomings still remain visible, exposed by prolonged armed conflicts, a lack of accountability for atrocities, a global pandemic followed by an economic downturn, and entrenched economic and social inequalities exacerbated by the disastrous effects of climate change. The time is ripe for the international legal community to consider what lies beyond current international law. If existing legal solutions fall short, how can international lawyers and leaders effectively harness their creativity to tackle the complex challenges of today? How does international law interface with other disciplines that also seek to promote peace and equality, such as domestic law, diplomacy, trade, social change movements, and global solidarity initiatives? How can international law adapt to become more effective in responding to the world’s shifting crises? ILW 2023 encourages participants to think beyond international law.

More information and instructions on submitting a panel proposal can be found here: https://www.ila-americanbranch.org/ilw-2023-call-for-panel-proposals/. The deadline to submit a proposal is April 17, 2023.  

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We hope to see you in New York in October!
