Prof. Philippe Sands KC and Prof. Christian J. Tams will be speaking at The London Conference on International Law on 1st and 2nd October. Philippe will be the after-dinner speaker at the Conference Dinner on the first evening. Christian will be chairing the session on ‘Moving the Cornerstone? Recent Uses of Force and their Impact on the Charter’s Ius Contra Bellum’.
Christian is also a member of the conference’s programme committee, who have worked on this year’s programme for the two days of the conference.
The London Conference on International Law is a biennial event dedicated to exploring the latest developments in international law and providing participants with the highest-level insights from leading experts in the field. The conference will explore the effectiveness and limitations of existing legal principles and the ability of international law to address contemporary and future challenges. It will examine the defining content of public international law as we understand it today, questioning whether recent international events have exposed fault lines or whether it remains adequate to address the issues at hand. The conference will also seek to challenge preconceptions and assess whether the reach of international law extends further than commonly believed.
If you would like more information about Philippe or Christian’s practices or instructing them please contact Lee Cutler or Tori Eastwick.
