Description

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.
