Change and International Law
Wednesday 4th September 2024, 15.45-18.45,

Centuries
have witnessed the inexorable march of technological innovation, each stride
leaving an indelible mark on the canvas of international law. History is rife
with examples illustrating the intricate interplay between technology and
international law, with new
disciplines emerged, and old doctrines disappeared. This year, our
speakers from two panels will discuss the way and way different disciplines of international
law dealt with technological changes in various historical periods to shed
light on the future.
