The ongoing civil war in Syria; the violent escalation in Ukraine and another chapter of the tragic saga of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are just the most prominent examples of our collective inability to ensure that the United Nations’ principal objective – ‘saving succeeding generations from the scourge of war’ – remains a distant aspiration for many of the world’s citizens. The cost of such conflicts is enormous. One example is that of Macedonia, As many as 170,000 people may where an unprecedented UN ‘preventive have died to date in the Syrian Civil deployment’ reacted to warning signs War alone. The number of displaced and ensured that the Yugoslav wars did people across the world is at an all- not spill over into that country. time high. Conflicts reverse the gains of development.

Wind and rain were lashing at the windows. Visibility was exceptionally poor. Conditions could hardly have been worse for the planned invasion. However, Chief Meteorologist James Stagg predicted a spell of better weather. Eisenhower made the final decision the next morning: Operation Overlord was to be launched. The 6th of June 1944 would become a turning point in world history; a day of hope, but also the beginning of an incredibly fierce battle in which immense sacrifices were made.

  • ASIL 108Th Annual Meeting
    The Effectiveness of International Law ILA 76th Biennial Conference ASIL 108th Annual Meeting April 7-12, 2014 Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center Washington, DC Tweet about the ASIL-ILA joint meeting using the hashtag #ASILILA14 Search for “Ronald Reagan Building” in the Apple or Android App Store Dear Colleagues, International law is a vital and highly topical element in international relations and, increasingly, domestic legal practice. It is both fascinating and frustrating: fascinating, as anyone considering the current issues about the East and South China Seas or the Ukraine will attest; frustrating, because of the lack of mechanisms to ensure that such issues are as a matter of course resolved by international adjudication, rather than left unresolved or resolved by other means. The tensions between national interests and aspirations towards an international legal order go back to international law’s very roots, when Grotius first set out to schematise some of its core aspects in the early 17th century. I have said enough to show that international law is perennially relevant. The ILA was founded as long ago as 1873 in Brussels. Its constitutional objectives are the study, clarification and development of, and the furtherance of international understanding and respect for, international law, both public and private. Headquartered now in London, the ILA has branches across the world, and consultative status as an international NGO with various UN specialised agencies. It pursues its objectives through biennial conferences, recently in Rio de Janeiro (2008), The Hague (2010) and Sofia (2012), through its standing committees which meet and prepare reports and which may lead to draft laws or recommendations adopted at the biennial conferences, through informal study groups and through activities organised by its branches.

The current focus of the GGRI is the governance of cyberspace. How cyberspace is governed has significant implications for a range of critical issues, from national security to the protection of individuals’ rights and freedoms. Yet, the governance of cyberspace is highly contested. Tensions exist between those who favour private sector-led, decentralized forms of governance, and those who favour state-led, centralized forms of governance. There is, therefore, a pressing need for practicable policies which can help balance competing demands effectively. The conference is a platform for 17 outstanding academics and professionals representing a range of countries and sectors to present papers addressing key issues related to the governance of cyberspace. The authors were selected through a competitive application process which sought to balance the candidates’ professional and geographic backgrounds in a manner that would maximize the quality and policy-relevance of the research. During the conference, the participants will present their papers to a select group of seasoned experts on cyber governance.

Kathman, SUNY Buffalo, and Megan Shannon, University of Colorado Boulder 14 Introduction by Lise Morjé Howard, Georgetown University Peacekeeping was born in 1948, in the midst of the American civil rights and anti-colonial movements. The basic thrust of the idea was to resolve violent conflict without resorting to violence. In that sense, peacekeeping is unlike other forms of military intervention because of its foundational principles: consent, impartiality, and the use of force in self-defense (and later in defense of the mandate). These guiding principles continue to anchor peacekeeping today, even if some of the mechanisms and goals have changed over time. After the peacekeeping failures in Rwanda and Bosnia in 1994 and 1995, a new, central goal in peacekeeping became civilian protection. Since 1999, the UN Security Council (UNSC) has mandated all complex peacekeeping missions to protect civilians.
