SAHSOL's 3rd Annual Conference on Futures of International Law

The theme of this year’s conference, “Futures of International Law,” invites critical reflections on the contemporary international legal order, its legitimacy, and its responsiveness to ongoing and emerging global challenges. Recent events, including Israel’s wars against the people of Palestine, the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, forced migration due to climate change, and the role of international economic institutions in perpetuating inequality, have raised urgent questions about the effectiveness, equity, and resilience of international law. Is international law still a tool for justice, or has it become a mechanism for maintaining global inequalities? Can it be reclaimed by those it has historically failed?
