Description

Abstract:

This launch seminar of the CALS International Law in Asia cluster explores continued challenges that the Global South faces in international law. While many believe that the international legal system has become more inclusive and equitable, others highlight the continued structural inequalities within international law and the marginalisation of Global South voices. Has international law generated positive change and justice for the Global South? To what extent has international law accommodated the perspectives and needs of the Global South? To what extent do institutions like the International Criminal Court and the International Law Commission address issues of interest to the Global South? These are some of the issues that our distinguished speakers will discuss, drawing on their academic expertise and extensive experience in high-level positions of international law institutions. 

Speakers:
Dr Nilufer Oral, Centre for International Law, NUS
Professor Raul Pangalangan, University of the Philippines; International Criminal Court

Moderator: 
Associate Professor Cheah W.L., Faculty of Law, NUS
