International Law: A Perpetual Motion Machine in Need of Repair?
Congress Centre, conference hall E9
On the one hand, international law is perpetual and an established part of human life. It originated to regulate relations between distinct subjects – representatives of different peoples and tribes. On the other hand, international law often comes under attack from various individuals since it cannot always appropriately respond to all manifestations of life: from emergency situations and economic restrictions to the ineffectiveness of procedural institutions. However, to date, no new ideal regulator of international interaction has been established. How do people view the current viability of international law, and what are some possible ways to reform it?
