Seminar: Developing International Law at the Bar - A Growing Competition Among International Courts and Tribunals

This Thursday, November 5, 2015, the journal The Law and Practice of International Courts and Tribunals will hold a seminar on "Developing International Law at the Bar - A Growing Competition Among International Courts and Tribunals," in New York City. The program is here. Here's the idea:

Initially viewed as a risk of “fragmentation” of international law, today this phenomenon appears as a sign of the current dynamics and vitality of the international legal system. The Seminar will offer two panels, respectively devoted to interstate disputes and disputes between States and non-State Actors. Each panel will focus on thematic, rather than institutional, approaches: law of the sea, international trade law, environmental law cases, transboundary aquifers, foreign investment disputes, and human rights. Speakers are senior academics and experienced practitioners in the international legal field.
