About ASIL Annual Meeting program
The Annual Meeting Committee appreciates the work required to submit an idea for an Annual Meeting session and all submitters will be acknowledged in the Annual Meeting program. Nonetheless, given the large number of submissions, the inevitable similarities between some ideas, and the goals and themes articulated above, not all ideas will fit into the Annual Meeting program. The Committee reserves the right to modify and adjust submitted ideas, combine them with other ideas, or utilize elements of ideas in creating the Annual Meeting program.
About 2022 Annual Meeting
The 2022 Annual Meeting will examine how international law is experienced personally. Questions that will be addressed include:
- How do individuals experience international law in their daily lives?
- How do non-State actors contribute or pose challenges to the creation, evolution, interpretation, and enforcement of international law?
- What and who is prioritized in the public and private application of international law?
This focus is particularly significant today when the daily lives of most of the world’s people have been upended and recalibrated by a global pandemic, massive economic losses, climate challenges, and persistent racial injustice. In this time of crisis convergence, the Society’s Annual Meeting is a call to examine the ways that international law meets or fails people’s expectations and to explore ideas of how international law can better address these and other challenges.
