  • 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.

  • Global Governance Reform Initiative
    Global Governance Reform Initiative Conference: The Future of Cyber Governance 13-15 May 2014 Venues: The Hague Institute for Global Justice Sophialaan 10, 2514 JR The Hague Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs Bezuidenhoutseweg 67, 2594 AC The Hague Conference: The Future of Cyber Governance 1 │26 13-15 May 2014 Global Governance Reform Initiative Conference: The Future of Cyber Governance 13-15 May 2014 The Global Governance Reform Initiative (GGRI) seeks to overcome the challenges of global governance in three important domains – cyberspace, oceans and migration – by improving the efficiency, effectiveness and legitimacy of collective actions undertaken by relevant stakeholders. 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.
