The lecture will reflect upon the recent book Women, Peace and Security and International Law (2022)   in light of events - COVID, Afghanistan, Ukraine - since its publication and the adoption of the last WPS resolution by the UN Security Council in 2019. It will question the contemporary place of the agenda and of the concept of peace within international law.
