ASIL Annual Meeting 2024 | ASIL | 3 April 2024 | Washington Hilton, 1919 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20009, USA

There is more international law than ever today – more instruments and disciplines, more institutions, and more judicialization. Meanwhile, nations have become increasingly interdependent on account of global economic integration, technological and communicative connectivity, the need to manage cross-border and global resources, and concerns over collective security. Under one common story, these developments are related: international law tends to contribute to international integration and human interconnectedness, all of which should reduce the potential for conflict and lay the groundwork for greater human flourishing. Real world developments, however, seem to belie such a hopeful narrative. For all that our rules-based international order has achieved, the last decade has witnessed a resurgence in classical conflicts – from trade wars to open cross-border military aggression and great power conflict. Undeniable gains in prosperity and growth have been attended by rising inequality and disregard for human rights. Our interdependence has also generated its own novel problems, from insecurity in digital networks and cross-border infrastructure to financial contagion, pandemics, and climate crises.

This Annual Meeting will interrogate the role of international law in such an interdependent world. Progressive, critical, and classical analyses have some purchase. Has international law actually contributed to human connectedness and flourishing and, if so, how? Can we still envision this pursuit while limiting social and political stratification within and among nations? How can international law respond to new challenges posed by greater integration, including the very weaponization of interdependence? This meeting will reevaluate and reimagine the purpose, place, and power of international law in response to these developments.
