THE ESIL CONVERSATIONS
The ESIL Conversations are conceived as a series of online events through which The European Society of International Law (ESIL) aims to contribute to the discourse on international law. The first series, “Multilateralism in Times of Unilateralism”, is focused on negotiations of major treaties (like the Convention on Crimes against Humanity or the Convention on Protection of Persons in the Events of Disasters, as well as on the future of the United Nations Organisation). The ESIL Conversations will offer high-level discussions on central questions of international law.
