This talk will be led by Dr Reece Lewis, Academic Fellow of the Middle Temple
The numerous and grave examples of violations of international law—including the recent Russian use of force in and against Ukraine—provide ammunition to the claim that international law fails to properly constrain the behaviour of states. Against this backdrop, this event examines how international law responds to unlawful acts. It will explore the consequences of illegality in international law. And it will examine how international law and politics intersect on this important question.
