Symposium: Is There a Role for International Courts in Ending Wars?

International courts are increasingly engaged in – or drawn into – ongoing armed conflicts. In our series, Is There a Role for International Courts in Ending Wars? , we bring together diverse scholarly and practitioner perspectives from the End of War Project’s events at Oxford University and the George Washington University Law School in 2024 and 2025. The forthcoming pieces explore the appropriateness and effectiveness of judicial involvement during ongoing armed conflict, the ramifications of such involvement for the courts themselves, the types of measures courts can and should employ, and key considerations for courts when seized of active armed conflict situations.

The Symposium will be updated regularly for the next several weeks; please check back regularly for new articles. Laurie
