Conference: Eighth International Conference of the Indian Society of International Law

The Eighth International Conference of the Indian Society of International Law began yesterday afternoon and will continue through tomorrow at the Society's headquarters in New Delhi. (I previously posted the call for papers.) The program is here. Here's the idea:

The objective of the Conference is to highlight and discuss the emerging legal concerns in public international law and put on record the Indian scholars' thinking/views on it. In recent years, some core principles and norms of public international law have been challenged and attempts have been made to reformulate norms and institutions to perpetuate hegemonies and other attendant evils associated therewith. The Eighth International Conference plans to reinvigorate themes that have generated lively discourses among policy and opinion makers and academicians such as (I) Intervention and International Law, (II) International Criminal Court and the Crime of Aggression, (III) Prohibition on Torture and Enforced Disappearances, and (IV) Nagoya Protocol and Access to Benefit Sharing of Genetic Resources.
