The Future of International Law
How do international experts come to terms with the
new forms of war-like violence such as 9/11, and to what extent
do they
foresee intervention possibilities that could be recognized
as international law? Did the unilateral decision for the '
War against Iraq' cause the US to ruin its international reputation
as a protector of global rights and guarantor of international
law? Battles perpetrated less by nations than by anonymous
mercenaries or paramilitary groups funded by the "warlords" of
despots have been labeled "the new form of war".
This combat presents a fundamental challenge not only to the
traditional idea of war but to that of an international law
meant to prevent war.
These issues and many others will be
discussed by a panel of international scholars including:
- Bruno Simma, International
Criminal Court in The Hague and President of the European Society
of International Law
- Ulrich
Preuss, Prof. Public Law and Political Studies, FU Berlin
- Richard Buxbaum, Prof. International Law, UC Berkeley
- Lothar Determann, PD FU Berlin, USF
Law School
- Steve Weber, Prof.Political Studies, UC
Berkeley
- Steven Krasner, Prof. International Relations,
Stanford University
- Thilo Marauhn, Prof. Public Law and
International Law, University of Giessen
A follow-up symposium
is planned for 2005.
Co-hosted by the Goethe Institute, San Francisco
