Dunlap Jr., Lindsay Freeman, Adi Gal, Chris Jenks, Eric Talbot Jensen, Asaf Lubin, Jessica Peake, Marco Roscini, Leila Sadat, Afonso Seixas-Nunes SJ, Michael Swartwout, Eytan Tepper, and Jennifer Trahan
Out of the 122 ongoing armed conflicts in the world, certainly two conflicts (Russian intervention in Ukraine and the War in Gaza) have raised important and critical concerns about how war is being conducted. The way the different parties to the conflicts have interpreted and applied the Laws of War (International Humanitarian Law) is a matter of intense debate. When and how, who and what can be targeted, the role of new technologies of warfare, and the mechanisms of accountability are the issues that will gather 17 world-renowned academics at the 2025 SLU LAW Center for International and Comparative Law and Saint Louis University Law Journal Symposium.
The SLU LAW Center for International and Comparative Law and SLU LAW Journal are proud and grateful to contribute to the international discussion on the current challenges of International Humanitarian Law.

2023--The Legitimacy and Legality of War: From Philosophical Foundations to Emerging Problems
Steven Hill, Kevin J. Heller, Afonso Seixas-Nunes, Gina Heathcote, Jean d'Aspremont, Rebecca Mignot-Mahdavi, Nori Katagiri, Tom Dannenbaum, Katie Johnston, Russell Buchan, Marco Roscini, Nick Tsagourias, and Daragh Murray
While Russia's invasion of Ukraine represents a serious challenge to the international legal order, its challenge to the use of force regime is particularly acute. This symposium brings together a wide range of scholars to assess the applicability and efficacy of the international legal framework regulating the use of force. Topics to be examined include just-war theory, the prohibition on the threat or use of force, exceptions to the use-of-force prohibition, the treatment of the non-use-of-force principle in judicial proceedings, and the role of non-State actors in the use of force regime.

2021--Center for International and Comparative Law and Saint Louis University Law Journal Symposium on Misinformation/Disinformation & the Law
Ang Peng Hwa, Maria Luce Mariniello, Mahsa Alimardani, Mona Elswah, Joan Donovan, Lisa Kaplan, John Cook, Thomas Kadri, Sara Gerke, and Shimon Kogan
The avenues for misinformation (the dissemination of inaccurate content, irrespective of intent) and disinformation (the deliberate spread of inaccurate information with the purpose of misleading others) have increased dramatically in recent years, in both the online and offline environments. This symposium seeks to map out the heterogeneity of misinformation and disinformation, and in particular its salience in the legal and regulatory space, as well as possible solutions to ongoing manifestations of mis/disinformation.
