As part of a conference organised on 22 and 23 June by the European Society of International Law Interest
Group ‘EU as a Global Actor’ supported by the University of Leiden (Europa Institute, Europe Hub and Ukraine
Hub), KU Leuven (Institute for European Law and Reshuffle project) and City Law School, City, University of
London, the conveners are holding a doctoral workshop on the morning of 22 June open to doctoral
researchers in law and in international relations at different stages of their research. Specifically, we invite
contributions reflecting on the following topics:
• The day after the war – reconstruction, development and justice for Ukraine
• Prosecution of crimes of aggression against Ukraine
• The EU’s political support and financial, humanitarian and military assistance to Ukraine
• EU restrictive measures
• Implications on EU Common Foreign and Security Policy, EU Security and Defence Policy, and the EU’s
broader system of fundamental rights
• Proceedings before international courts (ICJ, ICC, ECtHR) and EU support
• EU measures to support refugees and victims
• EU measures to support Ukraine and horizontal issues of public international law (international
responsibility, law of treaties, countermeasures)
• The EU’s role in a new geopolitical world order
Format & Output
The workshop will take place on Thursday, 22 June 2023, from 09h00 to 13h00. Selected contributors will be
assigned a discussant from among the speakers and organisers of the conference of 22-23 June. Subject to
peer-review, the organisers may invite selected doctoral researchers to submit their contributions to a
symposium to be published in a blog such as Verfassungsblog and/or to develop their papers into chapters for
an edited collection in a book series of the European Society of International Law (Oxford University
Press). Selected participants are therefore expected to submit a draft paper of 1,500 to 2,500 by 9 June.
Funding
The organisers are able to fund accommodation and travel for a limited number of participants.
Deadline
The deadline for submitting abstracts is 23 April 2023. Abstracts should not exceed 500 words and should be
