Cambridge International Law Conference

Cambridge International Law Conference The 10th Annual Cambridge International Law Conference will be held online, from 18-20 March 2021.

For the 2021 Conference, we invite the submission of papers under the theme ‘National Sovereignty and International Co‑operation: The Challenges of Navigating Global Crises’. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the tension between the benefits of internationally co-ordinated responses to global issues, and States’ unwillingness to concede their sovereign right to act – or not act – as they see f

it. However, the difficulty posed by conflicting international and domestic concerns is by no means novel, nor limited to public health. The major issues of global import – from environmental threats to impediments on trade, the forced migration of refugees to nuclear weapons and intervention in armed conflicts – naturally entail interactions between States, as global interconnectedness draws domestic concerns into regional and international spheres. Yet, the legal mechanisms facilitating co‑operation – from international organisations to bilateral agreements – are stymied by States’ reticence to participate. While national sovereignty is paramount, how can true international co‑operation be achieved?
