As part of the Hague Justice week , the European Society of International Law invites you to join a timely conversation on the future of the International Court of Justice.

Will the Court play an even more central role in international affairs? Could it face increasing backlash or neglect? And what role can we realistically expect the World Court to play over the next two decades?

The discussion will bring together:

Alison Macdonald KC, Barrister at Essex Court Chambers

Jasmine Moussa, Legal Advisor to Egypt’s Minister of Foreign Affairs

Christian J. Tams, Professor of Public International Law at King’s College London and President of ESIL

The conversation will be moderated by James Devaney, Professor of International Law at the University of Glasgow.

Join us during as we look beyond the ICJ’s centenary to learn what the next chapter might hold.
