- International law futures
The theme asked how the future of international law, and of international lawyers, will cope with new challenges, often driven by technology, when the field depends on whose knowledge, information and expertise counts and how it is gathered and weighed.
Suggested topics included the role of expertise in making, applying and judging international law, including Indigenous and other ways of knowing and the place of practical experience beside academic knowledge; fact-finding, investigation and multidisciplinary expert panels; handling gaps and uncertainty in information when decisions must be made; and debates over public participation and popular opinion in international legal processes.
