CRASSH/Cambridge Ukrainian Studies conference: 'Ukraine and the Challenges of International Law'

On 4 December 2017 - in collaboration with the Cambridge Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities (CRASSH) -- Cambridge Ukrainian Studies is hosting the international conference Ukraine and the Challenges of International Law: Annexation, Aggression, Cyber Warfare.

The event confronts pressing issues facing the practice of international law and the conduct of the international legal community in the wake of the annexation of Crimea and the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian War. Gathering leading experts in international law, political science, information policy, and cyber security, we ask:

Has international law missed its chance for constructive intervention in Ukraine? To what extent do our articulation and understanding of the conflict in Ukraine conform to the vocabulary and principles of international law? Do features of the international legal system need to be revisited or even reloaded in light of events in Ukraine?

Registration for the conference is now open. Fees are £20 (full price) or £10 (student/unwaged). Fees include lunch and refreshments. Registration will close on Monday 27 November; logistical queries can be directed to CRASSH's conference manager at conferences@crassh.cam.ac.uk.
