Register Today! ILA American Branch - International Law Weekend 2021 - Online - 28 - 30 October 2021

The International Law Weekend (ILW) 2021 organised by the ILA American Branch will be held virtually on October 28-30, 2021. 

The theme of this year's conference is Reinvesting in International Law, as follows:

Hindered by a retreat from multilateralism, the international legal community is struggling to respond to the global challenges of our day; climate change, economic inequality, impunity for atrocity crimes, and now the pandemic.  We are at a key inflection point in crafting our response to these challenges.  We must ask ourselves, “where is the international legal order meeting expectations and where is it falling short?”  Where should we reinforce the current system and where must we develop new solutions?  How can we revitalize our global health, economic, and human rights institutions to make them more durable and impactful?  Where do we require more robust legal frameworks and where, perhaps, do we need less regulation?  How should we tailor our reinvestment in international law?

Registration is now open and can be accessed here. Early bird prices end September 15th 2021. Students attend for free. 

We have a fantastic lineup of events planned, including 32 panels, a high-level opening plenary, keynote addresses by former International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda and Yale Law School's Professor Oona Hathaway, more than a dozen professional networking events, opportunities to meet with book publishers, and more. You can view the schedule online and in the attached pdf.
